Adam_McGuire Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Long story short, I need a new freewheel, getting a new one isn't the problem it's actually fitting it that's the tricky part, I was wondering if anyone knew of any bike shops in Aberdeen that would do it or if anyone in Aberdeen would be able to do it, I'm happy to pay someone to do it.

isitafox Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Fitting it or removing the old one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_McGuire Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Removing the old one, I think I would be able to put the new one on myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Freewheel tool and a drain grate. Secure the tool in the Freewheel and place the tool in one of the slots. Then use some leverage or a mallet to loosen the freewheel. Used this method nearly every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) @bike_dummie where in the world is it called a drain grate? Never heard that. Edited March 20, 2016 by Dman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Guys. The best way. A normal local bike shop that can conceive the in's and out's of trial bikes is a rare thing. The usual outcome is "yeah we know how to do that, no problem" and then they illogically f**k it up somehow. There's a tutorial on tartys if you get in the workshop & have a brain fart half way through. Just remember the key is clamping the tool to the FW & a leverage pole with constant, even pressure, NOT tw**ting your crank with a hammer!
