yeah i would normally service stuff like this myself but i just don't have the time at the moment.

I've kept the Shimano freewheel though and as I expect to have plenty of spare time over the rest of this year I will replace the bearings/repack with grease.

This is the best video I found for Shimano single speed freewheel disassembly
and maintenance (although the guys voice tends to grate).

Looks straightforward.

In other news yesterday was my first day on the bike for 8 days. My lower back went into spasm Thursday 23rd. This happens about every 18 months for me from a combination of too much cycling and/or gardening but this was the first time it's happened from sitting in my home office all day.

Still it was sufficiently recovered plus my legs were itching to get back on the bike for a mild, dry Friday morning in January.

Had a little bit of SCR on the false flat up to Westferry Circus in Canary Wharf and thought I would share it with you via the medium of moving pictures.

I thought I had positioned myself perfectly for the sprint finish but ultimately left myself too much to do to catch red bootie/pink backpack/squeaky mudguard guy or (whispers) perhaps he was just faster than me #sillycommuterracing

For Christmas I bought my wife a new fur coat made from hamster fur and a week in Blackpool.

It took me two days to get her off the big wheel.

If you ever go for a walk with the Scissor Sisters make sure they are pointing away from you.

Someone stole my antidepressants. Whoever they are, I hope they're happy.

I said to my son "when you're home you treat this place like a hotel". Well that's backfired, he's given me a 1 star review on TripAdvisor citing rude staff.

I was doing up my trousers this morning and got distracted singing along to Disney songs. Now I've zippered me doodah.

Not much to add except that it looks fantastic.

I've ridden many of the French alps and pyrenees and Ventoux but haven't ventured over that way

I suppose kit is important. As you no doubt know it can be 35 degrees and steaming in the valley but once you get up to 2,000 m it's a different ball game and can require gilet and or arm warmers as a minimum, especially on the descents.
A mate rode over an alpine crest early in the season with six foot walls of snow either side of the road and said it was like riding through a giant freezer.

I was visiting the Giant store in Twickenham today and asked if they had Park Tool FR-6 to buy.

They didn't but they had one in the workshop and let me borrow it. What a top bunch of guys there.

Existing freewheel now removed, new Clickster fitted and not only has the graunchy feeling gone but a beautiful buzzing sound is now there when I freewheel.

so you did, thanks...

errr... I hate to appear dim but there are 3 tools on that page, FR-2, FR-4 & FR-6.

I'm assuming the four pronged tool is the one I want but I can't see which FR-ref this is.

and replace the Halo Clickster

thanks once again.

Thought I already had a freewheel removal tool but I can't find it in my admittedly untidy garage/workshop.

To save me buying the wrong tool(s) can anyone confirm which Park (or other) Tool ref I need for the following?

To remove this Shimano freewheel?

My mate came second in a Winston Churchill lookalike competition.

Close but no cigar.

My mate's new girlfriend told him she's got his face as her wallpaper, which he thought was cute until he saw her lounge.

Thanks all, Halo clickster 16T ordered from Winstanleys Bikes

Hi,

I've had a quick search but can't see anything already posted although I would have thought this would be a common query.

I have a Langster with 48:16 gearing that I ride singlespeed for commuting duties. I inherited it from another rider and since I have owned it I have commuted 3,500 km and the freewheel is now feeling a bit graunchy.

A few questions:

• Are these serviceable or at least is there a grease port on them? (I'm pretty certain this one is beyond serviceable but it would be useful to know for next time)

• Is there a recommendation on what to replace it with and from where?

• Is there a noticeable difference between a Shimano 16T single speed freewheel available from Wiggle for £26-99 and a Dicta 16T freewheel from Mango bikes for £7-99?

Amen to that brother

Control

Correct

Fair enough. How about this one then? Most bikes put out by car manufacturers are pretty soulless but this one should go in the book just for the height of that stem stack

Okay so it's a couple of weeks too late but here's my video review of my 2019 cycling year all shot with my GoPro Session 4
