Single and Double Freewheels

Yes!  We now offer lockrings in all our ano colors (Silver, Black, Blue, Gold, Pink, Purple, Red).  Go here if you want to purchase those separately.

On 16T freewheels, the size of the driver and the bearings inside the gear limit how small we can make the diameter of the base of the gear.  You’ll notice a groove machined on the base next to the teeth which is needed to clear even a 3/32” chain.  For an ⅛” chain that groove would need to be a bit deeper to allow the chain to fully seat down on the teeth but we can’t make the groove deeper without sacrificing the strength of the gear.  Running an ⅛” chain will prematurely wear out the chain and gear.

On Double freewheels, a wider 1/8″ chain will rub against the adjacent teeth because of the limited space between the two sets of teeth.

Either will work fine.  Just a matter of how many points of engagement you want which effects how quickly the freewheel engages when you start to pedal.  And higher engagement means more “clicks” per revolution, so you’ll have a more “buzzy” sounding freewheel.

You bet.  We sell the outer gears (they come with the bearing installed), bearings, pawls, springs, drivers, seals and lockrings if needed (did we leave anything out?).  Basically, we’ll sell you whatever parts you need to get your freewheel working again.
