I have a 7 speed mountain bike with a Shimano Mega Range Freewheel. I have been using this bike on my trainer and towing a trailer bike.
The freewheel ratchet pawls no longer engages properly. I removed the wheel and the freewheel is free in both directions. If I spin it SLOWLY backwards it sometimes engages. I was able to get a replacement and removal tool for under 20 bucks at Amazon so I replaced it.
My question is would it be worth it to get a pin spanner and try servicing the freewheel to keep as a spare?
