Yeah that'd do nicely. I run both crmo and alu mx bars on a few of my bikes and I love them.

I have no idea how to take this freewheel off. If anyone can offer assistance it would be appreciated.

Never disassembled a wheel before let alone lace one up. This project is like the college of bike building for me.

There is some progress but slow for sure. Really need to get a set of bars but money is going to other things right now

motorcycle cables are bigger the bicycle cables. You need to fab shims like these.

Brass tubing from the hardware store epoxied over standard cable ends. The enlarged ends can be reused when you need new cables.

Do you want to reuse it? Or is it just the wheel you want? I weld them shut so they can’t freewheel and take them off using a big bench vice. Of course they are scrap after that.

Be carful with the welding heat. It can melt an alloy hub.

I am hoping to reuse the freewheel. I’ll take it to lbs see if they can get it off for me.
