I want to change the sprocket on the freewheel
« on: 11 June, 2008, 01:28:42 pm »
side of the flip flop hub on my Langster.
Is it straightforward a la changing the fixed sprocket which I have done without difficulty?
All advice gratefully received.

If you have a freewheel remover and the freewheel is built to take a freewheel remover (most are), it is just as easy as removing a fixed cog.  You still need a big spanner or a vice to hold the freewheel remover though.

I don't appear to have such a thing in my esoteric box of bodgeing bits so a trip to the LBS( always a financially risky proceedure) appears to be necessary.

Thanks for the advice.

Hmmm

If you take just the wheel in theys hould be able to do that for you on the spot, takes about 30 seconds with the right tool and a vice

I wouldnt even charge a regular for that
