I can only see forward pedalling? Can see your freewheel carries on when you stop pedalling and has enough force to carry chain with it.
Wanted to see/know how easily it deals with pedalling backwards.
Very unlikely to make any difference. Mechanically coasting and back-pedaling are the same in terms of what happens in the freehub. The only difference is a little bit of additional force, but both of them have to work so I donât see how it matters.

Well mine doesnât work, if you pedal backwards you instantly get slack in the chain.
Sorry for the possibly obvious question, but I wasnât sureâis the freehub able to freewheel like it should by itself, when the bike isnât on the trainer? Or is it doing the fixie thing even without the bike attached?
I ask because, if itâs only doing it when the bike is mounted, a possible solution could be something wrong with your jockey wheels, rather than the Hub.
Itâs likely the Hub, but best to check easy solutions.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your feedback. With it on the trainer, it definitely does not move. When just having the freehub mounted, it will spin but only when the fastening nut is not locked all the way down. Once itâs securely fastened, the whole unit will only move at the speed of the large trainer flywheel. Itâs like it becomes a fixed gear: it canât free spin backward no matter how hard you try unless you had a whole fixed-gear bike setup, which would be pretty awful as an indoor trainer. I am now on my second replacement (third total Zwift cog) and same fixed stuck assembly issue. I know this Zwift Cog thing is supposed to work because the original one that came with the Hub One did work for a few months.

It makes the chain go floppy.
How many Zwift Cogs does it take to get a Zwift Hub One working again?
