Hi there, I am new on this wonderful and helpful bicycle site. I was wondering if it would be possible to change my original freewheel gear set ? I currently have a 21 speeds with 7 gears of course, and my concern is with the smaller gear (14 tooth) I would like to change this one for a 11 tooth instead.
is it possible ? all suggestions, tips are welcome.<br />
sorry for my english, ( french canadian !!! )
Thank you Binder, for your reply. after posting last night, I clicked on a freewheel offers, directly on this site, and found one, but.... don't remember the company !!!<br />
Anyway, I know it's something "possible". But now I need to know what type of gears systeme I have (don't know yet) , in order to buy the right one.
Do you think it's a dum idea, or if this kind of modification is done regulary ?
thanks again
I don't think it's I dumb idea at all frenchie, I'm looking to do the same thing. I've already changed my crankset from a 22/32/42 to a 28/38/48 which has helped to raise my top speed some, but I'm still on the look-out for the elusive 11 tooth top gear freewheel.
Well, then I will look over here to buy the right type of freewheel, and will go ahead with this modification. I will keep you posted.
thanks again
