Hi Pablo. I think an English or Italian threaded freewheel will fit a French threaded hub even though Sutherland's says they won't. And yes it is possible to replace the cogs on virtually any freewheel if you have the right replacements. It's also possible to repack the bearings, often w/ delightful results. A lot depends on how seized up parts have become. Good luck.

If its not the case... how about French threaded freewheel (say 5 or 6 Speed) availability... and Cogs??? is it possible to replace worn out ones and/or custom build the cogs sequence???
