Its off a really low end ageing trek with other suntour/shimano bits so the hub could be too?
I know [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7213 ][b][u]this[/u][/b][/url] doesn't fit so I'm guessing its [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=14413 ][b][u]one of these?[/u][/b][/url]
Perhaps you know which ones also don't fit?
It's not a cassette, it's a freewheel. You'll need a Shimano TL-FW30 frewwheel removal tool to get it off.
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=23264 ]this one then[/url] to get the freehub off?
How do I get the casette off then? Does the casette slide off the back of the removed freehub?
James,
As simondbarnes says, it isn't a cassette, it is a freewheel, there is no freehub on the wheel, it is all one hole unit. When you take it of there is just a screw thread on the wheel, about 1cm deep, that the whole Freewheel screws onto.
And yep, its the TL-FW30 tool
So the sprockets are part of the freehub then?
Yep, You cant get the sprockets off individually, its a whole new freewheel if they need replacing.
Thats a bit cr*p
Thanks for educating me anyhoo
