Which freewheel puller for an early 70s Schwinn Super Sport?
I have a rear from an early 70s Schwinn Super Sport with 3 freewheel side broken spokes. The 5 cog 14-32 freewheel says "Schwinn Approved". Is the FR-4 the appropriate freewheel tool or is it the Shimano Boss or something else? -- meb |

The Shimano Boss has 12 splines. As always, Sheldon Brown's site has great information: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/tools/freewheel.html Kerry |

Is the FR-4 the appropriate freewheel tool or is it the Shimano Boss or something else? 'Early seventies' and 'Schwinn Approved' could be the early Shimano small spline (remove axle before using tool) or an Atom small spline (Phil Wood type shell tools can remove it with axle in place, original tool required axle removal) or a Normandy large spline ( easy to work with but the tool is rare now). Some 'remove axle' designs may be removed by undoing only the right side axle spacer, but that's a coin toss depending on how the axle was last assembled. Seek the advice of a competent LBS who can look at it (in the bike) and tell you what it is you have. Park's #FR4 tool is a copy of the Phil Wood design for early Atom spline freewheels. Maybe, maybe not. If you have one, see if it fits. The various patterns are different enough as to not be confusing. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
