(MECHANICS, SHEILD YOUR EYES)


I am building a single speed bike for my teenage daughter. I pulled the freewheel cassette off the wheel I am using by removing the lockring with a punch and a hammer, then twisted it off using a pipe wrench.


The single speed freewheel was a little trickier because, unlike the freewheel cassette, I need to reuse it. This is me removing the single speed freewheel using a vise and a pair of needle nose locking pliers (vice grips)... The wheel pictured is metric (700c) and won't work for my 26" build, hence the need to swap the two.
