Problem is, even though the spoke goes thru the hub flange opposite of the freewheel, it would appear you have to remove the freewheel so you don't bend the spoke to get it in.
I looked at the freewheel/axle and there's no apparent mechanism to get the freewheel off. There is a 'race' just inside the outer gear that has two 'holes' for a spanner to grab it but that's for the freewheel bearings. I don't think it's for removing the freewheel from the hub itself.
Help!
This is an old [EDIT], it's a Motobecane mountain bike wheel hub if that makes any difference.
I knew we should have taken the wheel with us when we went to get the new spoke.  |
