Gear/Derailleur Repair Ends in Total Failure!
I had a gear issue and decided to try and fix it. A bad thing happened.
Can a freewheel that has been so torqued on that it rotates beyond the hub threads? This could make it sit too close to the spokes, but I just don't know.

    Dude , banging on a pedal wrench with a rubber hammer? Really thats the best you've got? No wonder you damaged the flats. Sure you used the proper crank puller? Or were the threads damaged by using the wrong puller with the wrong threads. Soak those parts with penetrant before even attempting their removal😢

    Its actually a 1986 Allez SE based upon the color scheme and decals. The 1987s had a different decal set up. It could well have been sold originally in 1987, but its a 1986. I still have my 1986 Minx Blue Allez SE, my first ever racing bike. Assuming that you can get it fixed up, just slap a replacement carbon fork on it and she'll ride beautifully.

In my panic to fix it I was stupid and unscrewed the "suicide lever" that was connected to the main hand lever. Not only did I make things worse I cannot now reassemble the suicide lever to the hand lever. I must be assembling the lever components in the wrong order. Can anyone suggest the right sequence? The components are two plain washers, a crinkly washer, and a plastic bush. Once I manage to figure that out I aim to buy a new cable and housing.

    Hosing down an old bike like this is sacrilege. Don't let water go down the seat tube or into the head tube. It stays there for years and rusts out the frame. Then it's ruined. Get a spray bottle of weak dish soap mixture and gently WIPE it down. If you really want to preserve it, spray it down with a few coats of nano-coating for car finishes. Works wonders, waterproofs the whole bike.

    Tighten the quick release skewer/lever against the freewheel remover tool to stop the tool from dislodging. It has to be really tight. Apply pressure to the wrench only till the block begins to move, then release the lever as you continue to turn the wrench.

    Just a thought, would a few more links in your chain allow the derailleur tensioner arm to open up, run closer to vertical and put the component that's touching the spokes further out, towards the wheel rim where the spokes have moved away? Does this still happen with the chain running on the larger front gear?

  • @harryrowland4734

    The smaller the sprocket, the closer it will be to the spokes, either fit a block with a larger bottom sprocket or fit a spacer behind the block. Also, aluminium hardens with age ( age hardening ) be very careful with old aluminium components.

    Second, I always try to put the freewheel tool in a bench vise, then place the wheel assy on the tool, and use the whole wheel as the "wrench", to maximise the torque applied to the freewheel. With a gently bit of downward force applied while torquing the wheel, there might still be enough "meat" left on the freewheel for this to work. Or, maybe you could use this bench vise trick, but plug in a chain whip for the freewheel tool.

    • @thevelocollective343
      @thevelocollective343 10 місяців тому

      Thanks for the comments. I do dislike the look of those spoke protectors on this type of high end bike, but I see your point. I didn't have access to a vise but I'm really not sure it would have made a difference, that freewheel was so stuck on there that the force necessary was likely to going to break either the tool, the freewheel or the hub itself. However, as you say, there's more control with the vise and it's a must when you have these type pf problems. Cheers!

  • @virgilfulton4426
    @virgilfulton4426 10 місяців тому

    First, I had the derailleur-versus-spokes issue on a vintage bicycle myself. I resolved the issue by installing a spoke protector (also know, affectionately by me, as a "dork disk). The inner flange of the spoke protector, aka, the inner radius portion near the threads of the hub, acts as a spacer, pushing the whole of the freewheel just a few millimeters further outboard on the hub. It may seem counterintuitive to add something inboard of the freewheel, but it did the job for me. If you don't like the looks of a spoke protector, there were 80's vintage models that had a clear plastic outer rim... the plastic often turns yellow and cracks off; you can break off the plastic portion and use the leftover metal ring just as a spacer (check that the spacing works before going thru this effort though). If your bicycle had been raced, back in the day, then it's possible that the owner swapped freewheels, depending on the race course. So chances are that the freewheel might not be original to the bicycle (if that is a concern).
