Evening all, possible redirect in progress here as the new face about town, but where else can I go!!
Needing advice on somewhat of a problematic issue - got hold of a lovely old '91 kona cindercone (http://www.konaretro.com/articles/catalogues/1991/91Inner2.jpg) and with eager intentions of a single speed transplant operation then got my tool kit (http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=T0045). Lovely. Or not so lovely as it turned out to my utter dismay. The problem? A full Suntour XC drivetrain stubbornly resisting my futile efforts to get the ruddy 7 speed cassette of the hub, and what's more my supposed do-it-all crank tool, quite frankly, doesn't.
How can I get the cassette off! And secondly, if I even can, will the Suntour hub even accomodate a nice shiny new SS cog (Surly / Wheels Mnf / Gusset....) ?? Any ideas welcomed, tho within reason....
