at fitting a freecoaster

I picked up these '~~scabby~~' minty first gen black Tuff II's to complement my Kuwahara that I am slowly gathering parts for to rebuild it.

It came with a 22T cog, yes, 22T

and as I hate coasters anyway, I thought I would fit a NOS ACS Freecoaster I have to them. Never done one before so thought I would give it a bash.

I got carried away and stripped the complete coaster and decided to re-grease the complete setup. Sorry no pics as my hands were greasy

Here it is completed

To say it was easy is an understatement. It was piss easy

The idea of the freecoaster is to switch it from coaster to freewheel by pulling up the 2 pins, turning the freewheel a click and then screwing the pins down. It takes around 5 seconds. This was designed to keep the coaster arm in place to enable both options if required. Authenticity Rich, authenticity (unless it's Suntour hex bolts

).
