How to disassemble SS freewheel?
My Langster has a 16T freewheel. I would like to replace the stock 16T cog with the 14T that I've got on the fixed side of the flip-flop hub. Riding fixed in traffic is just not for me. Please tell me how to disassemble the freewheel, or point me to a web page. Thanks!

That's not possible. The smallest bmx freewheel is 16 tooth. You'll have to increase your chainring size to get that ratio.

if you're that desperate you could probably pick up a sealed flip-flop bmx hub and try that. one side of the hub will be smaller for smaller freewheels. |
I think white industries made a 15 tooth that had standard hub threading size. However, it was really pricey.

I'm pretty sure ACS makes a 15t freewheel with regular threading. I think 14t need a special hub.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know. I'm glad I stopped trying to take it apart.

AC Racing makes the 15T freewheel to fit standard English threads. 13, 14 and other 15T freewheels need a metric BMX flip-flop hub. If you went to a BMX cassette hub, you could go all the way down to 9T.
I've got the AC freewheel on the flop of my fixed gear minibike, but it's not a super burly freewheel -- I'm not sure how long it would hold up to abuse on a full size bike. So for practical limits, 16T is as small as a regular English freewheel thread will go. |

Going to a BMX hub would open up a whole other can of worms, because most of them have 110mm spacing and super-thick axles. |

15t freewheel fr/ acs racing for standard threads. btw, actually disassembling a freewheel is bad news; super small bearings everywhere. Tell us how it goes. |

I've had a ac racing 15 tooth freewheel. Worked fine and you can remove it with a sealed BB tool.

Note the section on freewheel threading. British and Standard are more or less interchangeable. Peace! |
