Drill some holes to make it lighter? Am I thinking right?
Thanks!
You touring on a Fixie?
Freehubs with a Lock ring . Ive been told *, A bunch of pretty wide Zip Ties can fix the biggest cog to the spokes ,
Then If you did not overtighten it the lock ring will come out with a tool not much bigger than a freewheel remover ..
and a Big wrench .. its the big wrench you probably have to borrow from a Local in the next town you limp into.
In the shop you only need 1 chain whip and a wrench to un screw the lock ring tool .. on a freehub..
2 chainwhips get used to tear down Multi speed freewheels to the bare Body .. (1/8" steel flat bar (Hot Rolled ))
Hardly needed since nobody sells new cogs for freewheels any more, its All or nothing.
* my tours were on freewheels . 48 spoke tandem rear hub.. (47 spare spokes already in the wheel worked out well )
2 Chinas, There were the 2 sides of the Chinese revolution , the loser, escaped & took over the Island of Taiwan ROC ..
the winner has the Mainland Mao's successors of the PRC
