Re: [RBW] Single Speed Freewheel Removal
No great loss in any case. It was rather interesting, nay thrilling!, to see the mechanic remove it by squeezing it in a vise. As for OEM Indian Roadster components, the habit in the countries where I saw them used was that things like freewheels, not to mention chains, chainrings, bb, hub, and headset bearing assemblies, saddles, rims, and brake linkages were considered permanent infrastructure, like the frame. (I'm being somewhat -- 33.225% -- facetious, but serious for the rest of it.)

Re: [RBW] Single Speed Freewheel Removal
Cheap Dicta and even some cheap shimano's have come like that, I think there is an indian sub manufacturer that makes the inadequate ones. There are also non standard tiny prong 4 prong dicta freewheels, and even two prongs. I think you can spin them on remover-side-in if you are not paying attention as well.

Re: [RBW] Single Speed Freewheel Removal
I had this experience once, too, back in the mid-90's. I had a Suntour, Shimano, or some kind of FW (can't remember) stuck on an old Campy Record hub so badly that I actually stripped the notches out of the FW trying to get it loose with the removal tool. The LBS I took it to guaranteed that they could get it off, but would destroy the FW in the process. I said go for it and they did, and it did. Since then I've used higher quality components AND lubed the hub threads with anti-seize compound and have had no further problems.

Re: [RBW] Single Speed Freewheel Removal
I'd agree. I had two dicta freewheels. One of them I put on before a CX race to test riding with a 16t freewheel. Within a few laps of hard and wet racing it blew up. The second one I used in winter. It blew up in a couple days. Then I bought a shimano. It's lasted two years so far but I can't use it in the cold as the pawls stick and it spins both ways!

Re: [RBW] Single Speed Freewheel Removal
There are a few options I can think of: Use a grinder to make the removal tool's hole big enough to fit over the PW end cap. Make your own tool out of a flat piece of scrap steel. Of course, it will only engage two notches and I would recommend using the vice method. Use a chisel or punch of some sort to get the freewheel started. Take the freewheel apart, and use a big pipe wrench to remove the part of the body still stuck on the hub. This should be a last resort as it usually kills the freewheel. I have used the chisel and homemade tool method successfully in the past with no damage to the freewheel or hub.

[RBW] Single Speed Freewheel Removal
Anyone out there know of a "BMX" freewheel removal tool that will work well with a Phil Hub? Unfortunately, the center hole on a commonly used tool, like the Park FR-6, is not large enough to slip over the larger-than-normal axle caps of the Phil hub. This means that the axle cap on the drive side must first be removed, which is not only an extra PITA, but then the removal tool has to sit against the notches on the freewheel without benefit of the QR skewer to hold it in place, risking the stripping of the FW notches in the process. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
