I'd agree with Joe on the freewheel solution. The absolute last thing you want to do is drill them out as the value plumets like a stone mate, so keep them original. I wouldn't go as far an 18T though as it will be unridable (unless they're going on a show pony)

What freewheel did you take off? I'm asking as I discovered one of my set arrived with a silver 17T Shimano on them. I'll happily send it to you to try it and if you think it covers enough for you to be happy with them. You can send me a 16T replacement of similar condition - not a "non-branded" one if you get what I mean though :daumenhoch:

If it helps, just let me know fella.

Spen,

thats very kind of you...I have a NOS 16t Shimano freewheel that came of the wheels, if you want to trade?

i'm not sure how much bigger the 17t will be? I just measured the distance, tooth tip to tooth tip across the widest part, and its 71mm...

the side that is OK, i.e. quite polished, would look better if it had the "satin" effect that the normal flanges have, if was being picky.

can that be achieved somehow?
