- In this video we install a Shimano freewheel onto a Suntour equipped bike. This is a near real time video were we install a new freewheel, chain and adjust the rear derailleur. I hope this video will be of some help.
Back in 1987, a bike shop sold us a Cannondale with Suntour components and a Shimano freewheel from the floor...never had an issue. Suntour and Shimano indexable freewheels seem pretty interchangeable as long as they are 'indexable'.
The shops I was at in Texas said that they would not work together. They were wrong. Try to switch indexed derailleurs and see what happens. That doesn't work. Thanks for watching.👍
Nice to know.
Good job man.
Thanks!
I just did this to my bike and it works great!
I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching!
I had a Motobecane bike from 1980 or so that was all Sun Tour equipped, no French drivetrain parts. And the Sun Tour freewheel took a 2 prong remover
They did a 2 prong and a 4 prong. Thanks for watching.
I've been looking for this exact info. Excellent information! I like your narration. It is very clear. I have a couple suntour drivetrains. The x-press shifters on my daughter's Bianchi are a bear for my daughter to shift. Are you aware of any Shimano shifters that work with the 4-notch suntour freewheel (it is not cassette)? Everything is 1990-91 on this bike. Thanks again. I've subscribed!
Sorry to get back to you so late. I am not computer literate. The 4 notch Suntour freewheel is considered a freewheel not a cassette. I have had some X-press shifters in the past that I put new quality SS cables and housing on and it made the shifters work like magic. Try that. Thanks for watching!
Hey Jason, I really like your informative content and when you tell stories it's great and pranking scammers is hilarious. One thing that I have noticed while watching your videos I have noticed is when you pronounce the letter "s" sound it is very sharp and harsh on the ear. I'm thinking it's a mic issue and not from your pronunciation. Not trying to be a butthead, I just have hearing problems and severe severe tinnitus and it's kinda painful when I hear that sound. Please keep up the good work and I hope this doesn't discourage you from further content.
Not at all. Thanks for the input. Your not kidding the mic picks up the S and it's like an ice pick to the brain. I do whistle a little with my tongue. The mic picks it up a magnifies it ten times. I will try putting the mic somewhere else instead of below my mouth. Thanks, Jason.
@@alloutbikes Thanks man Youre awesome!
Yes shimano hg will work
Yes it does.
Is there a model number for the shimano freewheel and whats the tooth count for the big and small cogs - i have 14-32 on my Suntour and im looking for a matching tooth count - thanks
Great video! Thank you:) Please answer me this... I want to know if I could take the dedicated 1/8 sprocket part off of a 16T Origin 8 Hornet freewheel which is wider & does not fit a 3/32 chain & put it on the Box Two freewheel that is 3/32 & 1/8 compatible but more narrow as you know. Just the box two is better quality & want the dedicated wider 1/8 sprocket so that the chain has no play in it. Thank you for your help🙏✨️
I don't think you can. The Box has slightly different internal mechanism. I have never tried and I never will unless I have two bad freewheels that I can play with. But if I had to guess...... No. Goodluck!👍
@@alloutbikes Thanks for reply! Both freewheels have 9 pawls & 108 p.o.e. Shouldnt they be pretty much exactly the same on the inside? Also I can not for the life of me get the tight spot out of my chain now that I installed the Box two freewheel. Chain does not seem to move around or slide side to side so not sure if the freewheel cog itself is out of whack? I ordered off ebay an n.o.s shimano bmx chainwheel 44T 110 b.c.d same as I have now. Also new KMC ept e101 chain so hopefully this solves it... Also have Hornet coming from Amazon. Appreciate your advice🙏
Is that where you normally fix bikes or did you stage it up a bit? Seems like the skateboards don’t get sold much if they’re back in the repair area.
No, it was up front. I was rebuilding a bike in my normal work area. I was running late as usual and I needed to get a video done so I picked my repair stand that I have been working on for the last 26-27 years. Thanks!
Are you from cars and cameras?
