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.

How do you usually get them off?

If they are knackered its easy: Crush them in a vice till the tooth ring cracks and falls off. Then hold the inner block in the vice and unscrew the wheel (while standing knee deep in freewheel bearings)

MartyC:
The ACS 888 I got from Meddle uses an ISIS fitting so I use my RaceFace ISIS BB tool to remove it.  The Four point fixing like the Shimano DX and Suntour freewheels always come off OK, the sh1tty ones can be those with a two point fixing but if you are careful they can come off a dream too.

MeddlE:
Didn't get down to my local bike shop, will try to make it on Monday.

As for Trevs comment about Winstanleys, they are fine as long as you only order stuff that's in stock.  I've never had a problem with them and I've ordered plenty.  There are people on here that have had trouble though.

MeddlE:
Checked with both of my local shops, neither had one.  Realised that the one I gave to Marty was bought back in 2004!

baldbmxer:
I used to run a 41/15 gearing and it was spot on! i used the Shimano 15t freewheels and they used the smaller side of a flip flop hub.

Not sure if you can get them for the larger thread.

I picked up a NOS Shimano 15t FW on Ebay the other week for £4.  :daumenhoch:
