Hi,
I have a single speed freewheel sprocket in the mid-drive setup (i.e. with a freewheel crank). The freewheel has an adapter attached to it for motor mount. Freewheel gets disassembled on the way while driving resulting in all the ball bearings scattered on the road. In the picture you see the disassembled version of such a freewheel. It probably is a malicious attempt that somebody does whenever I park it outside the shopping mall. I am not sure why this is so easy to dismantle while being mounted on the motor. Note that while mounted, the lid of the freewheel is facing the motor and is very difficult to reach with tools quickly in public.
Could it be that when somebody stops the wheel forcefully and provide the acceleration at the same time, causes the internals of the freewheel rotate while outer remains stationary resulting in lid to burst open?
If it is that easy to break, how can I solve this problem? (I am stuck with the adapter because it fits the motor shaft - 11mm) However I am open to new solutions.
