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
