15t freewheel

<< < (3/5) > >>

Wayne Ryder:
Just wondering about that freewheel, which I've been told to avoid a couple of times now. If it does fail, how do you get it back off? Is there a special tool involved?

SaMAlex:
Freewheels unscrew in the freewheeling direction anyway. Failed or not, you always need a tool

AC racing 888 15 tooth still for sale at ace bmx in usa not sure about UK ,got to of em work fine for everyday needs.    i was able to run a 2.15 tyre on the back and use a 36 tooth sprocket the increase in overall wheel diameter made  it fell like i was only one gear ratio down.    i  am happy with it as the homer hubs i got do not look like dieing anytime soon. i hear they discontinued them but i haven't had a prob.

muttley:

Sorry, I should've said 'special and rare tool'.
I've got a freewheel removing bolt in the shed, but it'd be no use on this and hasn't been on any freewheel I've ever owned.
