Hello everyone, i'm new to single speed conversions and was just wondering if anyone could help me. I've searched the forums and still a bit lost on what to do next. Let me explain.
I've got an old Raleigh racer from around the 80s and decided to convert it to a SS.
So I took off the derailleur and have the back wheel removed from the bike. I've taken out the stem and am left with just the wheel and cogs. I've then realised it has an old freewheel on. It has the 6 cogs or so, then inside is a ring with two round holes in, inside that is a protruding pipe (about 5 mm) with thread on the outside, indents inside and a smooth top.
All I want to do is remove the cogs and put the new cog and spacers on. Will this work? Do I just need to undo the cogs by using a screwdriver to hammer the little holes in the freewheel clockwise?
