I exchanged some emails with someone at Harris Cyclery this morning. Apparently, just like any HG cassette, the cogs on the HG freewheels are interchangeable........although Harris doesn't do it themselves for customers. All you need to do is drill out the rivets......just like on cassettes.....and you can swap out however. They didn't make any mention of shifting issues in regards to indexing, but then I didn't ask.

Anyway, that's that. Now, my quandry is do I want to mess with that or just build a rear wheel or two with freehubs. Bah!!!

Thanks for all the input.......especially the wheel building tips.

Ciao!
