My GF's bike has an old 27inch wheel in the rear with an old worn mailard 5-speed freewheel - it skips badly and puts her off riding. I want to replace the freewheel but I've never dealt with helichromatic before and presume they aren't readily/cheaply available and that I'd need new tools?

I'm thinking that it might just be easier to buy a cheapo new 27 inch wheel with standard cheapo freewheel no? Does that sound like the best bet?

Got a few old but good condition freewheels, PM me if your interested

your chain maybe stretched to, but buying a cheapo wheel would solve your problems.
