Title: SMALLEST FREEWHEEL ?
Post by: HARODAVE on February 26, 2009, 08:18 PM

Hey all , i`m getting a wheel with a hub that has  a 30mm thread for the freewheel , its the old style , not a driver type as on new school hubs ...what is the smallest size freewheel i`ll be able to fit on it ..i`ve seen 14 tooth ones on ebay that will go on  but does anyone know if i can get a 13? ..will this be ok if i run a 14 tooth freewheel  with a 30 tooth chainring ?  :idiot2:

Cheers in advance   :daumenhoch: , Dave

wouldve thought a 38 or 39 with a 14t back would be best  :daumenhoch:

Dave,
I think DK and Odyssey both make 13T freewheels.
Dunno how handy they would be to get tho...

DK did make a 12T freewheel but it was withdrawn from sale for some reason

 .....on the other hand ..how about this?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360126365593


 ......30-12  ratio then , and i wouldn`t need to change the sprocket ( i kinda like it  ;D) it seems like a good price for a cassette wheel ? are they any good ? mind you i`ll not be pushing it that much :2funny: , i`m not that rad!!   :(  or should i go down the 33-13 route?  :idiot2: confused now ...your thoughts lads  :4_17_5:
