Quick 6 speed cassette question

What the fuck is this freehub? And where can I get a 6 speed cassette that fits it?

Sincerely
Nick

I came across one of those a few months back. it came on an old Carrera hybrid I was trying to fix for a neighbour, one of the teeth bent and causing problems. spent an evening trying to find a way of sorting it out, in the end it was going to be cheaper and easier to buy a new wheel. it was very obscure and no doubt obsolete. Its one of those ones where it actually is just a lot easier to bin it and get something more standard, it wasn't a quality part so no loss tbh. not certain yours is the same but looked a lot like it.

you may be able to take that freewheel off and use a more standard screw on freewheel.

As per @Dogtemple's advice, that looks more like the innards of a screw-on freewheel than a freehub, so you'll need a stack of individual sprockets rather than a cassette. Just swap it for a new one.

I also think that’s the middle of a screw-on freewheel that someone has taken the cogs off. Take the wheel and QR off and have a look down the middle. Fairly sure it’ll have some splines or notches and you’ll be able to take it off. If so, stick it in a bench vise and use the wheel to unscrew it. Or a big stilson or adjustable wrench ought to get hold of it.

Aha! Thanks guys. That's my fault, I actually took the sprockets off myself. And then I threw them away. Brilliant

Ok so days on and I haven't figured this out. I took the axel out (bearings everywhere) and can see there are some grooves inside to receive some sort of tool, but I don't have it!

Anyone know what I need?

A freewheel removal tool.
Park fr-1.something or equivalent

It says shimano so you might be able to use a shimano freewheel tool.

alternatively, if you don't want to keep it and buy a tool... on the face theres a couple little dimples, you can undo that by tapping something in the holes, usually it is a left handed thread so undo the opposite way. the large part will then come away with loads of little ball bearings going everywhere. you can then clamp the remains in a vice or get a large adjustable spanner on it and crank the sucker off. it will probably be on there tight. then replace with something else.

Or bum a tool from someone in the open toolbox thread

Thanks guys. Tool arriving today!
