Title: Freewheel advice
Post by: MINI_BURNER on May 17, 2008, 07:31 PM

I'm new to the scene so please excuse my silly questions....................I have just bought some tuff 2's but they dont have a freewheel fitted, however I have a freewheel fitted to my existing wheel.  Can I just unscrew it and change it over or do I need a specialist tool?

Thanks in advance :daumenhoch:

its so you can fit a freewheel on either side of the wheel threaded both sides think one sides for old school freewheels and other for new.
