I haven't removed the cogs from one for a while, but I seem to remember that the largest cog, and maybe even the largest two, threaded on from the back of the FW. Anyone remember for sure? I also remember that removing cogs was a royal pain - really makes you appreciate the Maillard Aris - or the Zeus 2000 FW.

Right now I'm just trying to take the cogs off the freewheel so I can see what the last one looks like, to see if I have a replacement larger cog that will work. I've never worked on an Oro---so far I've had to unthread (with whips) all the cogs. The 3rd cog is balking and seems to be rotating the 5th one. So I ask about tricks or weirdnesses that I should know about. Thanks! --JP --
