Pedal Does Not Spin Freely at Myrna Catalina blog

Pedal Does Not Spin Freely. Some pedals don't spin particularly freely from new. Here is a video of how to do the job. The pedals and the chain spin freely and move the cogs at the back, but the rear wheel remains stationary. However, they're not spinning freely like i think pedals are supposed to. It spins freely in one direction, making it possible to coast when you stop pedaling (while the bike continues to move). A freewheel sprocket spins freely in one direction, and locks in the other direction when you pedal, to move the bike forward. This is ok as the friction does not increase with load and is a tiny power loss. Unscrew the nut at the end of the pedal axle. It does turn, it just takes some effort, but i can't push them and spin. I've noticed cheaper pedals (also the <5$ ones) spin forever if you give them a tap with your finger. Pull the pedal off (make sure not to lose any balls),. Replacing a ball is quite doable. My own pedals seem to have a little resistance in the bearing.

Is it normal for the wheel to not spin freely after putting on the rear
