Wanted 4 or 5 speed block

Thread-on, not too concerned about the ratio’s, for ‘50’s hub (can’t say which brand. Not because it’s a secret. Simply because no-one seems to be able to identify it.)
Needed as the original had a meeting behind the bike shop with Mr AngleGrinder, after a frankly disagreeable exchange of views with Mr Record-Vice, Ms ChainWhip, the FreeWheel-Nut Cousins and Master Much-Swearing. That’ll learn it for refusing to budge.

Will take a picture of said hub later.
It’s about 4 below in the garage.

It's quite satisfying breaking a freewheel away where the tool interface has failed - especially if it took the tool with it!

If you can remove the freewheel mechanism (usually with a pin spanner, i mean hammer and punch) and expose the pawls, you can get a grip in the vice in the pawl sockets and turn the wheel off.

Swearing is fun, but skinning your knuckles on rusty old teeth is not strictly necessary

I've got some decent 4 and 5 freewheels if you need to buy one

Ah, literally tried all the things but in this case…
…but definitely keen on seeing what you have. The one that came off was a Cyclo.

I'll dig out the box on Monday when I'm in the shop, or more specifically down in...
the bikeworkshop vintage parts mine

 

[fiveSixteenths]

Parts Palace surely…

I'll post up a photo.
Most canaries have fallen off their perches in the cycle trade, but i think ours is still avaliable

oh, so your’s really is a mine.
I could lend you my Tilly Lamp, am hoarding it for the end of days.

Tilley lamp?
H&S will be all over me.
It's Davy lamp or nothing
