Talking of which, does anyone have any ideas how to remove a very stuck 5 speed screw-on as settle form a hub that is no longer in a rim
Yeah, best thing to do is lace one side into another rim so you can get some leverage. Put the freewheel tool in a big vise and use the rim to undo it. If you can get any spokes in the freewheel side as well, all the better.
Edit: if it’s a 2-prong freewheel and it’s really really stuck, you’ll probably find the tool rips through the prongs. You’ll have to weld it to get it off it’s like that.

on a lighter note, I'm sure someone on here needs this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-HOBBS-OF-BARBICAN-STEEL-MERTENS-PATTERN-HANDLEBAR-STEM-SUPER-SCARCE/283475565900?hash=item420075dd4c:g:VVgAAOSwpXZc0BRs

these came in the post today. really please, been after some for ages. Constrictor Conloy sprint rims. Just need to build them up now. Either with a hub gear rear, maybe a close ratio or ASC if I can find one at all affordably, or with some Harden gear sided hubs I have to clean up. Talking of which, does anyone have any ideas how to remove a very stuck 5 speed screw-on as settle form a hub that is no longer in a rim. I stupidly cut out a rear harden from a defunct rim, and now can't remove the cassette and realise I may have cut of my leverage. (I don't have the correct tool either) . Any advice anyone?
