• 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?

  • Were those the ones on ebay? I was pleased someone else bought those before Friday night beers had their way with me :)

    I feel for you re the freewheel, I had a torrid time with one last year. Is it a notched freewheel? Sheldon's advice "Once the notches are damaged, or to remove and discard an old freewheel for which you have no tool, you must disassemble the freewheel and clamp the core into a vise -- left side of the wheel up -- then unscrew the wheel counterclockwise."https://www.sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html Doesn't solve your leverage problem though!

  • yes, the ones on ebay. Friday beers obviously went to my head quicker than yours... Not that I regret it.
