Re: Re: We are all f****d then!

Re: Re: usually even with the sprockets removed the body will still be intact. there is a lock ring that will need removing - often having only holes you can use a punch and hammer with. As other have said these freewheels are not really designed to be taken apart. the Suntour NW were...

I used to have a freewheel vice tool (till a few years ago) which was just the thing if you were set on dismantling this freewheel. I recall I had a load of suntour new winner Ultra 7 speed freewheels. They were a joy to dismantle the bodies and change the sprockets about. The tool was the VAR...

Re: Re: If you are looking up braised fillet - I prefer mine fried in a pan or skillet. If you are looking up in the internet you may have more success looking up "fillet brazing" on"lugless brazing/frames" There are lots of advantages to this method in terms of infinite available frame...

Re: Re: I use a tip for getting the right amount of play when adjusting cups from Calvin Jones Big Blue Book. Saves time from trial and error method. I put ring spanner, or similar, over one end of the axle and tighten up against the closed QR skewer with similar force to when in frame...

Eugene Sloane All new complete book of cycling 1988 is good and discusses lots of components of the time. It might me a "bit modern". easily available used

No speaking as a doctor, a psychiatrist, I'm all about "Tell me how that makes you feel, seeing that rare post totally knackered, and still not out yet. - Umm Interesting"

loved the youtube clip "it turns easy" !!!!! how long is that pipe wrench? hard to think that amount of twisting force wouldn't damage the frame.

Checked again, it was Calvin Jones (of Park tools), Big Blue Book of bicycle repair. I did notice same method is mentioned on the Sheldon Brown site. This method just takes out all the guess work.

maybe drill through now knackered seat post and attach a slide hammer? viewtopic.php?f=1&t=329177&start=40&hilit=slide

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=388417 I still have these centaur 9 speeds any use - the price is probably too high i have some other used ones veloce 9s and 2 rh 10s centaur - i will need to check

just to be clear i saw it in a book or somewhere. Have a mental image of a pic in a book. Just been through my Zinn, Park, Andrews, Sloane and even old Snowling books (and some others) and couldn't see reference to it! someone must know where this tip comes from! - it is annoying me now

fantastic news. Any chance of a pic or two?

I use a tip for getting the right amount of play when adjusting cups. I put ring spanner, or similar, over one end of the axle and tighten up against the closed QR skewer with similar force to when in frame. Then adjust the cone, on the opposite end to the ring spanner. It can be adjusted...

Too good be true? Reminds me of the Battaglin Carrera Frame in 87 Roche TDF colours I used to look at in the window at Evans, Waterloo BITD. This is obviously way later, but were they still made by Battaglin?

no worries having looked again the 100mm is actually XE with wedge, smooth bar clamp and cinelli sticker logo

Just checked my Cinelli XA I have 100 x 26.0 (and 90, 130 in 26.4) I am sure someone should have the exact match.

So frustrating! a pic would be great - although not help you in the slightest
