Ive been learning funky chickens out of fork glides, and I'm having the weirdest problem.  No matter where I set my pedals, the crank always rotates around forward so that the left pedal is forward, right in the way of my scuffing leg.  It ALWAYS moves and stops at the same place.

There could be many reasons.  Check your hub and make sure it's not too tight.  Make sure your chain isn't too loose (scoot the wheel back).  You could even tighten your cranks a bit to keep from moving.

Hope that helps.

check your sprockets not bent to my much, if it's always stoppig in the same place, because if it was the freecoaster or chain i could see it stop at different spots.
Also are you pedaling back before spining in, because ive noticed unless i do actually pedal backwards it doesn't always properly disengage, doubt this is your problem but just a thought.
anyway hope this helps.

I had the same issue.  I run a freewheel, but my chain was just loose enough that the loose spot let the wheel and crank turn until it hit the tight spot.  I tightened up my crank a bit, and that solved it.


If u stop riding, u will die.

I just looked at my chain and its loose as hell.  I hadnt thought to check because I JUST tensioned it.  I guess i need to buy some tensioners -.-;
