Hi All, if anyone can provide a little advice I would be truly grateful. My lovely 1980 Fuji Gran Tourer SE is clicking. I narrowed it down to the rear hub, and the click occurs once per revolution of the wheels, regardless of the gear. I stripped down the rear wheel, and found that the six-speed freewheel cluster (14/30) has axial runout - it wobbles - by about 2mm back-and-forth along the axis of the rear axle when measured at the 30 tooth sprocket.
So my question is - does anyone know of anything with which I could replace the 40-year-old freewheel? It's a Suntour Perfect WG. I read that just about any cluster would fit. I'd really like to fit a twist-tooth if any improvement to the shifting might be obtained. Here's a couple of photos (and, by the way, does it look worn to you?)
