Freewheel Problem - Helicomatic

Because commonly guys buy a tool, a cog or two and a pack of bearings, then get another ten years
from it. YMMV

I suppose you think I should remove my Svelto too? Hell, it's just getting smooth!

It's like a Volvo, which is just barely hitting its stride when it hits the first 100k miles.

Frame rusted through on mine at 120k. That car cost a fortune to keep and was a POS from the day it
rolled. At 10 years it was worth $800 in running condition. It handled worse in the snow than the
1968 Dodge Adventurer I drove in high school. Volvo...

Big question is WHY? Why spend money on something that is so outdated that only one shop in the
nation supports it?

If you're going to spend money, you're better off with a FW hub and 7sp FW. At least you get
something that made it to the 90s before it died.

Cheaper in the long run... Now you've got a 20 year old wheel with a new cassette... Next time
you need to change cogs, you may not even be able to find them...

He probably thinks I should throw away my Suntour Freewheels and 27" wheels, too! (I'm not selling
my Morris Minor, either.) I guess I'm one of the few, the proud, the retrogrouches!
