Bill , Is yours an older green or a new orange Hillborne. I remember when I was at RBW, Keven telling me that the new oranges had a bit more clearance at the chain stays. I purchased the last 56cm guy in the house. So, I know that as far as Hillbornes go...my bike has less room for big tires.

One more data point on freewheel removal. I follow the steps mentioned in prior posts, but use my really big adjustable wrench over which I slip a 4-foot length of pipe. Then the leverage from this jumbo tool easily breaks the bond. -- Fred Yavorsky Jenkintown, PA http://www.twistcomm.com/Bikes

I've never experienced any problems removing a freewheel (with the proper freewheel tool) and a large adjustable wrench. I have a Sears Craftsman 12 inch adjustable wrench which does the trick every time. As long as the freewheel tool is tightened down with the skewer, it's not going to slip.

Jim It's true that most freewheels can be removed with a big wrench. Most of the freewheels that are too much for a wrench can be removed by a vise. Those that cannot be removed with a vice are few. If it's been on for 10+ years and was used a lot, I'd guess that Minh will need a vice, but
