I think there is enough room on the Maillard 700 hub for me to try a 7 speed. Stay tuned!
6-speed shimano freewheel. I think there is enough room to try a 7-speed FW on the Maillard hub?
7-speed IRD freewheel
Interesting....
So it could be the spacing on the Sachs/Maillard 7 speed FW that's causing my fit problem.
I would have thought it would work as I think the the Sachs/Maillard 7 speed was supposedly spaced for a narrow chain.
I'll have to double check and see if maybe I did not remember what I did and was maybe trying to fit in an older 7 speed Maillard FW on the bike.....
It could also be the Stronglight Delta rear hub's dimensions that could be causing it?
