Hi,

i have just got a new rear back wheel, but it has no gears on it. however i already have a rear wheel (so i have 2 rear wheels one is buckeld) and i would like to chaneg the gear clogs of one wheel to another, can this be done and how, any tutorials, Thanks

Well, first off, a gear clog is called a cassette.

Second, to do this right you will need a chain whip (keeps the cassette and freehub body from rotating ) and a cassette lockring tool.

third, you want to make sure the new freehub and the cassette are compatible. Usually not a problem with recent equipment but you never know.

Fourth, go here and read

It is not hard to do at all, but you need the right tools or you will end up damaging your parts.

Good luck arfan

Actually guys a clog is something you get in your drain. A cog is an acceptable term for one of the gears in a cassette or freewheel

Easy to do with the right tools.

If you're only going to do it once, just take it to your LBS and have them do it. It'll only take them a few minutes and should cost a decent amount less than the tools.

thanks people, i forgot what the cassette was called so i called it clog, lol

i shall do the operation tommor and shall let u know if successful

Thanks alot though

Don't use AOL'ese here. It's not as if it's that difficult to type two extra letters

Here are some examples of dutch clogs

Totally forgot about those. I'll bet if you bolted a cleat to those they'd make some hella stiff bike shoes

That could raise a whole new argument about which is stiffer - carbon or 1" thick poplar

I'm guessing Poplar wouldn't be the popular choice.

Oh my, Holland's awfully popular today on the BF! Spotted some dutch-jokes on the SS-forum, too.
