1985 Era-correct freewheel....

(1/2) > >>

ThisBitterPill:
Looking for a 1985 era-correct freewheel, preferably a 16t as I think I used to run a 44t/16t BITD....

What should I be looking for as they seem fairly hard to date....?

I presume that the chrome ones with the black centre are later as I don't remember seeing them BITD....!

Cheers!

Betty:
Suntour or Shimano, there's probably loads more

Does it really matter if a freewheels era correct...  :-\

44/16 was the usual choice of gearing...  :daumenhoch:

rooski:
shimano freewheels have a 2 letter date code stamped on them

VINTAGE-TREK.COM has all the date codes :daumenhoch:

ThisBitterPill:
Ah cool I'll take a look!

Rodgy1970:
Suntour bmx/888 or Shimano 333/dx.

You can buy new shimano dx for £15-20 which are almost the same can't remember what the difference is.

If you can can pick up a suntour they are the ones I like and go for myself.

Nobody really seems to worry about the freewheel being era correct which is odd when everything has to be.
