I was thinking why not do an actual freewheel thread where we can discuss our encounters with freewheels and talk about methods that do and don't work depending on our needs, I'll get the ball rolling(oh and let's keep it polite this time.. )

So recently I had a project I wanted to single speed, but didn't want to respace/redish a wheel sooo instead, I took apart a freewheel, removed the cogs and spacers and put the lockring cog back on.. almost worked, but the chainline was too far off. Luckily for me it was a HG shimano setup, so tear down and rebuild was relatively easy thanks to two chain whips and some minor elbow grease!

So what's your freewheel story?
