I need a replacement freewheel for my Pearson Touche, that is very rough sounding when freewheeling, but have no idea what I can use.
It has the standard wheel it came with - Keymet XR-300, and I believe it is currently the Suntour 2-Pin? (original)
Am I right in saying that all singlespeed freewheels have the same thread, it's just the removal pins/splines that are different?
Meaning I have a choice of freewheels? Suntour, Shimano, white industries etc, but need the specific remover.
If not, which are compatible with which?

Mark.

Hi, yh all freewheel threads are pretty much the same, and if it was me personly i would go for a shimano freewheel, which has a for pin removal tool. I also have a 16t shimano freewheel which i used for about a week so still bran new if your interested? Matt

shimano is a good and cost effective solution for your freewheel.

Just replaced my Touche wheels, if you are still using your original chain, you'll need a 3/32 sprocket, not the 1/8 shimano job, singlespeed components supply "dicta" one's only £7 inc P&p

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
