thank you bikemig that's great information. I've been reading Sheldon Brown and looking at YouTube videos so have a better idea of what to expect. The bike is a UO14 which I read a while back was made in Canada mid-80's so hoping the components are pretty standard. I don't have any of the tools to remove the freewheel or chain cutters so will have get those or.

Will I need spacers to fit the wheel and new freewheel to fit the frame? I just checked and on the current wheel roughly 127 mm's? The hub on the rear wheel is about 50 mm?
