i kinda like having a slight extra insight into these things
the day i bought this used WI 17t i sold a Fallkniven U4, for about the same money
ok, then i ordered a 22t ring for it, but the freewheel itself cost me no money out of my hand, effectively
and my first time using it, was after totally debuilding/rebuilding it, all parts separated into a dirty-box, cleaned and put in a clean-box
the exciting bit was removing the bearing from the 17t and getting it pressed into the 22t
without knackering it
WI advise against greasing the internals so i used Starrett Tool oil, which i like and happen to have handy
had to add a link back to the chain .. its a good 30 years since the last time i did that ...
