Subject: [CR]need freewheel rem oval advice
Well boys and girls, I just did something so incredi bly idiotic I can
only laugh at myself, in a sad sort of way. In the past I have been
amazed when I have seen or heard of somebody doing this same exact
thing. How dumb can you get, I remember thinking. After 40 plus
years of working on bicycles I finally did it.
Here goes, I'll just blurt it out.....I cut a hub out of a wheel befo re
I took the freewheel off. There, I said it.
Yup. St upid, huh. Go ahead, laugh, get it over with......okay,
done?? No w comes the advice part. Any suggestions on how to get the
darn fre ewheel off without having to lace it into a hub again? For
some rea son I am not getting any hits when I do an archive search, so I
turn to the collective wisdom.
I have been riding and working on fr eehubs for so long that in my haste
I forgot I was working on a freew heel hub.
Thanks for any help or references.
