I've got myself in a real spot. I've got a wheel that has a Campy
Record hub and a Regina freewheel. I was going to remove the freewheel
to replace it with one that has larger cogs (hope I'm using the right
term - I'm trying to make it easier to go up hill). The freewheel tool
for this freewheel is the type that has two prongs that extend down
into two matching slots in a ring on the front of the freewheel. Well,
I succeeded in breaking the two prongs and the ring that the slots
were in in the process and still haven't made any progress in
loosening the freewheel. If you want to know how I broke these let me
know - it's a long painful story that I won't inflict on everyone.
Bottom line is, I can't figure out how to get this freewheel off now
that the normal method is out of the question. The only thing I can
think of is to try and cut it off very carefully with a grinder. That
seems quite risky and brutal.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Carl
