Is this combination ok?
Hello,
I'm asking if this combination will work : - 5 speed freewheel - Shimano RD-TY18 rear derailleur - Shimano Tourney Shift Lever SL-TX30 or I need another freewheel? Thx a lot for your answers. |
Should work fine as long as the freewheel is Shimano index compatible.

Apparently that comes in 6 OR 7 speed? (I couldn't find a 5 speed on a quick search)
5 & 6 speed FW's have the same cog spacing at 5.5mm. 7 speed has a 5.0mm cog spacing. So, use the 6 speed version if there isn't a 5 speed available Set it up so you are using gears 1-5 and shifting to gear 6 just allows a bit of extra cable slack. else, just get a 6 speed FW. There may be other issues, depending on rear drop out spacing or ?? scroll down just a tiny bit. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-spacing.html |
Thanks for help.
I decided to use : - Shimano Tourney MF-T500-6 freewheel - Shimano RD-TY18 rear derailleur - Shimano Tourney SL-TX30-6R shifter and hope this combination will work fine. After resolving that I will ask you for help regarding the front derailleur. PS1. The distance between dropouts is 135 mm. PS2. Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what i want to say :) |
