Hi all,
I have been given a 2004 carrera subway bike that Im going to tidy up for riding to work.It has a seven speed freewheel (not free hub),can I use an 8 speed freewheel on it?
Im not to good with spacing etc :?:
Just sems that 8 speed stuff is easier to find.
Thanks

possibly IF you can find a 8spd freewheel.
but you will only have 7 gears at the rear.
But 7spd freewheels are not hard to find.
