Since it was a glorious day here I decided to take one of the old beatuies out for a quiet spin, which turned out to be not so quiet.
There was an annoying ticking noise which I assumed was the wheel magnet hitting the sensor - so adjusted that.
Noise still there, trimmed gears, shifted up and down and found a quiet place - good - keep it there. Unfortunately hills keep appearing.
Long story short I finally figure out that the freewheel isn't rotating true and is too far away from the hub, I pull the rear wheel and - the damn freewheel has broken, the body is still on the hub but the cogs have broken loose. I'm 10 miles from home. I push the cogset back in a little tighter and try to get a bit closer to home, but no go - I phone my wife who comes to get me.
The problem now is I can't get the freewheel off, the remover tool ( this is a SAchs MAillaird 7 speed) is not holding things in place for me and I need to get this thing off. I have tried pushing that remover in tighter - snugged it up with the skewer, no luck, it is just spinning.
This is on a Super Record High flange hub so I do not want to damage the hub - any thoughts on breaking this beast off??
Thanks
