This morning I read a post on Bike Forums about a custom Shimano freewheel made by sciencemonster in a close ratio plus bailout style. Inspired, I decided to see what sort of gearing you could get out of just two different freewheels we had here in the store, the HG37 13-28 7s Freewheel, and the HG37 14-28 7s Freewheel. Shimano hasn’t made a freewheel with a large cog smaller than 28 teeth in a long time, and with some cogs from these two freewheels, you can put together a freewheel with a low gear of 24 teeth.
New Sturmey Archer Three Speed Trigger
The Sturmey Archer three speed trigger shifter has gone through a lot of revisions since it was first released in 1938. Until recently, the only new shifter available was designed in 1976, and didn’t really look appropriate on an older bike. The older shifters had a nicer design, even when they switched from printing the label on the body of the shifter to printing on the plastic itself. Finally, Sturmey Archer has redesigned the classic trigger shifter with the same graphics they used from the 1960s to the mid 1970s.
