Hi there, and apologies in advance for asking silly questions, plus I'm in the nursery still. I've recently purchased an old Peugeot Antibes 5 speed for my lady in the hopes of stripping it down and making it single-speed. I have a single-speed I'd bought and I've managed to maintain it OK.
I'm a bit stuck on the rear hub. I'd like to keep it relatively simple for now and I envisaged keeping the front crankset and whacking a single-speed freewheel (with spacers, I'm guessing) on the rear wheel. In the longer term I'd like to replace the wheels altogether. But for now, I'm stuck on removing the current set of cogs. Does anybody know how these are to be removed? It has 24 grooves and I hadn't seen any tools that fit that description. Can they be removed?! Am I on the right track?
Danke!
