Emanuel- Pleas go easy on the tech that buggered up your Ti Regina removal. Even with all the right set ups the notches in the raised ring are VERY easily mangled.
I've followed this thread with interest as I got into the business just as the Sun Tour and Shimano free wheels became popular. I quickly learned to dislike Regina and Atom to a lesser degree. The shop I worked at went through a bunch of Extra and Oro bodies as the removal efforts went south often. We had the Regina suit case and the proper Var and Regina tools but still couldn't get every cog off the body every time. The splined systems of the Asian freewheels just made so much sense.
