just been upto halfords to get a 16th freewheel. According to guy

in shop there is a national shortage of them and they havnt had any in for 3 months

so call into small bike shop on way home and they have had 2 delivered today

how can a big company like halfords not get them but small shop can

Maybe theres a national shortage of them due to people building bikes for the OSS with 44-16 gearing

Halfords at Aintree said the same thing..."Sold out, can't get anymore..." in just about legible neanderthal language!
