  • This is exactly the situation I'm facing for a snapped spoke. How big a deal is it (time & effort) to take the freewheel apart & off and re-assemble it?

    Also what is the largest toothed removable freewheel available?

    not quick or easy. i think mike's freewheel (24t?) had around 60 or 70 ball bearings. that was interesting.

    it's not actually a huge deal, though i wouldn't attempt it without a fair amount of time and patience; take off outer plate, remove bearings, pawls and springs, remove outer (toothed) ring, gently clamp the internals and grip in vice to remove. it's the putting back together that is much less fun.
