My only question is how to remove a Sunrace freewheel lockring. A few years ago I made a 4 prong tool from a 11/16 socket. It worked great and I've done a 30t cog swap. Unfortunately the lockring on the current Sunrace freewheels are tighten so much they won't budge. Sunrace freewheels are throwaways, but they used to offer freewheels with a 30t cog that isn't used enough to wear out. Want to take a current 13-25 and dump the 23t and add a 30t. Any suggestions?
