How To Remove Freewheel From Hub With Cut Spokes/Without Rim

  • I show how to remove a freewheel from a hub without a rim. The preferable method is to remove the freewheel from the wheel first, then cut the spokes. But stuff happens. Using this method, you can remove the freewheel without damaging either the freewheel or hub. You will need a chainwhip and a solid bench vise. Also an appropriate freewheel remover tool. BTW, I purposely cut this hub from the wheel just for the video.

    Just wanted to say I love your videos and I don't know how you don't have like a million subs yet haha. You inspired me to build my first fixie and I'm only 15. Also wanted to ask, on my fixie I wanted a back brake since I live in a very hilly area and I'm not sure what the best way is to attach rear brake cable housing to the frame as it doesn't have any built in cable guides. Im just using tiptoes for now

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад +1

      Clamp on cable stops. Get a pair of single stops. www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004FT1LGO/ref=nosim/youtube25-20

    hello rj! Do you think it would be possible for me to cut a freewheel off of a hub? i wanna reuse the spokes and am a little short on cash. It would be so much easier to just get a hacksaw than to get it to a shop

    Hello RJ, I have a question are sealed or cartridge bearing better then the normal loose ones. Can I get them replaced in my hub which has the normal lose bearings?

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  4 года назад +1

      Not you can't replace loose bearings with a cartridge bearing.

    So I don't have any spokes nor a rim. I live in the mountains. I have two classic Shimano hubs. One dura ace one ultegra both 9 speed. The dura ace free hub started making a strange noise on built wheel but I have a ultegra that is in plastic both NOS. I used 2, 2x4 flat and cut half circles in them and sandwiched the hub in between them just so the flange will touch the wood with enough space to use finish nails that fit perfect to simulate spokes. About 6-8 finish nails held the hub. Was able to unscrew! Whoop, whoop.

    arghh... I watched this after I watched your removing freewheel with no spokes video. So I cut all the spokes off the hub and was trying to review that video one more time. Then I found this video. ~@%G#%~!

    • @HappyHusbandnWife
      @HappyHusbandnWife 7 лет назад

      Red Grovyle Thank you, would you recommended WD40?

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад

      If you are talking about ordinary WD-40, it is not a lubricant. It is designed for displacing water. It is a solvent with a little bit of oil in it. Use a good chain lube.

    • @vidjagameenjoyer
      @vidjagameenjoyer 7 лет назад

      RJ The Bike Guy simon from gcn has a video where he says if you only use wd40 as your degreaser, and your lube, it works fine. they have since been sponsored by muc off so he shills their stuff now, but it is an interesting video.

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад

      WD-40 does have a line a bike specific lubes. Those are probably okay. But regular WD-40 in the blue and yellow can is NOT a good lubricant!

    That looked a little too easy, have you tried that technique before?

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад +3

      Yes. This was my second attempt at making this video. The first freewheel was much hard to remove. But it did come off. But then I realized after I broke it loose, the camera wasn't recording and it ruined the whole video. So I had to cut up a second wheel and start over. This freewheel broke free much easier.

    Hi RJ The Bike Guy. Thanks a lot for this film. Actually I've already faced this kind of challege and solved this problem making additional tool: mslonik.pl/rowery/technika/tworczosc-wlasna/1040-narzedzie-do-odkrecania-wolnobiegu The article is in Polish but some pictures are self-explanatory (I hope).

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад

      I have seen something similar to this using wood and nails and might make a video with something like that in the future.

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад

      I recently got 3 vintage hubs in the mail from a friend who was clearing out his garage. They still have the freewheels on there, but no spokes. Makes it a little harder.

    Hi RJ
    Thanks for the videos, I have learned a lot from you and now I make a living from repairing bikes.
    I drew a tool for my SR Suntour fork and printed it with a 3D printer.
    I have attached a picture of the tool
    facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1377461518955410&set=a.807824042585830.1073741830.100000747259266&type=3&theater
    I thought you could use this tip for future tools.
    If you want I can send you the files for the 3D printer and you can print the tools at your local 3D printer shop.
    Have a nice day,
    Ovi

    • @RJTheBikeGuy
      @RJTheBikeGuy  7 лет назад

      Very cool! I have the actual Suntour tools now. But that is a great idea. They work pretty well?

    • @ovidiurada
      @ovidiurada 7 лет назад

      If your design of the tool is correct from the start then they work very well. Just make sure to use a strong plastic material for the 3D printer.
      I have seen a guy print a tool for the bottom bracket ( shimano hollowtech ) and it worked.
      I think for the plastic caps of forks are strong enough.
