Single Speed Freewheel
Discussion
Last night i ordered a new freewheel for my Trek district, having got bored of spinning up the original 17t. The thing is, I bit the bullet and ordered a 14t, as low as i could find. Have i gone to far too quickly?
I know that starting out from traffic lights and such like will be difficult but it will be a small price to pay to stop spinning my legs like a chimp on E on 98% flat roads around here.
I have gone from a 44f -17r at 63,1 gear inches ( i have no idea what i means, i just know its relevant) to 44f - 14r at 76,6 gear inches
Have i made a mistake?, Cheers LP
PS. No kerbs were mounted or dismounted in the making of this post or during its research.

OK, the new free-wheel has arrived. There is just one small problem. I cannot get the old one off.
I assume I am correct in saying that i undo it in the opposite direction to that in which you pedal?
And you have 4 gaps in the inner ring that make a good locating area for a large flat blade screwdriver and a 1lb lump hammer.
Its not coming undone.
Where am I going wrong?
