Ok with a 15 t Freewheel??

<< < (3/4) > >>

sam hudson:
Ok I spoke too soon about being finished with this thread.

I am running a 1/8 chain with 1/8 Profile Widowmaker SS, so it makes sense to run a 1/8 freewheel. An ACS Claws comes in at £14.99 on a 15t but 'Alans' reckons you should use it with a 3/32 chain as the mechanism isnt up to running a 1/8. :'(

I don't want to fork out £20 on a 3/32 chain and £40 on a 3/32 front sprocket...I just want a 15t freewheel that isnt a big pile of poo! Anyone got any advice for a suitable 15t freewheel??

Whilst I'm on it, are all 4 toothed freewheel removal tools the same size...will a £6 jobby from ebay take of my ACS 16t and still fit my 'new' 15t when I come to remove that? (once you lot have told me which one to buy  ;) )

Life was much simpler when we all just stuck to 44/16!!

MartyC:
Time to shop for a 46t chainring then?

HEYWOOD BMX:
 Can you not get an ACS Claws in 1/8 then?
I have a 15t freewheel here but the 4 pin tool for my ACS does not fit.

bof:
I think I have a 15t sprocket , you can have it if you want it , You need a diferent size extractor for the smaller side of the flip flop hub


I have just checked and I do have a 15 tooth sprocket acs claws. I ran this for a half  season with a 1/8th chain with no problems ,
LMK if you want it. :)

It cheaper to buy a new freewheel than a new front sprocket so I'm thinking of dropping down from 44/16 to 44/15. I've got standard hubs on my 2006 Pk Ripper and I'm pretty sure I remember you can go down to a 15t on the normal thread?  I'm also running a standard 1/8 chain.

Its ok to go to 15t on a standard hub right???  :-\

It can be done with an ACS Claw
