Yeah, I'm well pleased with it. I just need to get the freewheel off to clean up the back wheel in the same manor and I'm ready to put it back together. Not srue leaving the freewheel submerged in water and citric acid for 24 hours would do it any good??? Any thoughts on that?
Nothing wrong with the ACS chrome jobby on there though. I just want to get it off so I can clean the back wheel up properly. Is it not jsut a case of getting a tool for the locking nut and then unscrewing it??
I fancy at some point building something midschool. At the moment I don't have the £££ to build another 80s bike after sinking several hundred into my Haro.What I fancy is something from the 90s that wont break the bank, it'll be mainly a bike for rideouts. The only mid bike I have owned is a DK general lee, I found this great on the local track but awful to ride on the street with its super low seat.So can anyone recommend a bike to me, what I need is something decent, maybe a couple of hundred quid, but with an old school size and shape, so it can be sat on and ridden comfortably like an 80s bike. I really don't know much about the mid era, I have seen a couple of GT Dynos from the 90s that look similar in shape to 80s stuff.Any help greatly appreciated.
I thought so. Think I'll just go mad and splash out the £5 to get the right tool for the job. I just managed to get myself a nice winged GT chain ring (the same one I had as a kid) so I'm excited about arriving now

Btw, you need the freewheel remover in a vice ideally thus giving you the leverage needed to release the freewheel.

I've got another set of those exact same pedals so I'll no doubt be keeping which ever set is in best condition and be selling the other
