Ok I'm back! :mrgreen: Yesterday I posted up a question on how to remove the rearwheel of a 3 speed Free Spirit bike. I got it off and replaced the tires and but them back on with no problem! Now I take the bike out to test it. as I'm pedaling in 1st gear everything seems perfect. When I switch into 2nd gear I realize its making a noise when I'm pedaling that sounds exactly like the sound it makes when it coasting/freewheeling. It doesnt sounds right. I know it wasnt making that noise the other day before I switched the tires. So how do i get it to stop making the coasting/freewheeeling noise when pedaling? Do I need take off the wheel to adjust or can I leave the wheel on and adjust? It switches into all 3 gears perfect just that when its in 2nd it makes that noise! :x

Any help or input is appreciated, thanks!
 
you just need to adjust the cable. when its in second gear the dot on the arm should line up with the hole in the little lever housing thingy on the end of the axle..
