lowest T freewheel on a standard RHD hub?

(1/2) > >>

pickle:
is it 14t or can i go any lower?

and if so what sort of size chainring should idealy go with it?   :daumenhoch:

mattuknc:
I thought it was an ACS 15t if you can find one, 16t is standard. 14t if you're using the old flip/flop hubs.  :daumenhoch:
If you go new skool you can go to 8t I think.  :)

nosepickben:
for the older size hubs, you can get an AC racing 15t freewheel, they are scarce and not fantastically reliable (hence thy've been knocked on the head)
If you have a 30mm thread size, (mid/late 90's onwards or "flip flop" - hubs with 2 different freewheel thread sizes) you can get good quality odyssey 13t freewheels. They click a bit tho!

Spot on, my lad has an ACS 15t freewheel on his GT.  However, flipflop hubs were around in the 70's and not an invention of the 90's  ;)

Rob ya retard, my MRD Badlander you were riding at the Boardroom last time runs a 13T Oddy freewheel on the flip-flop with the 36T Porkchop chainring on it which is why it's got such good coping clearance for an oldschool bike :crazy2:
And Ben's right, it clicks like like fook :LolLolLolLol:







The come in LHD or RHD so make sure you order the right one mate - my LBS (JE James) sells them for £17.99 if you want me to pick one up and bring it on the 3rd at Boardroom ???
