dmil1489 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hey all, Ive just recieved my new wheel and its got a fixed cog on the back but i need to take it off and put a freewheel on. Ive tried with all my strength and might to get the booger off but it just wont budge. Oh by the way i have been using a chain whip to attempt to get it off Does anyone have any advice or tips how to get it off without my popping some veins or something!!

TomN Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Let your dad have a go and make sure you doing it the right way or pop your wheel down to a bike shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 if you dont want the cog, chuck it into a vice and turn the wheel off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impacted. Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Have you got a fixed hub? Echo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 1) hacksaw to opposing sides, place in vice and twist away, like we did last summer 2) place chainwhip around the teeth, add large iron bar to it, and turn 3) eerrr local bike shop Thats all i can think of. You could try the freezing and hot water method if you want, but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Boil a kettle and pour all of it over the sprocket and then try straight away. Failing that, do what Will said, put the sprocket in a vice and just physically turn the wheel to the left hard and it'll unscrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
