Hi Hitesh, Online price of a product changes frequently. Just try to search for item which you are looking for and choose the one matching your budget. Also try with cycle spare shop in nearby market. You can get even cheaper that what I have shared.
Thanks! I plan on putting a few gears on a single speed. I’ve calculates what I want, and 5 speeds would cover all I need. It’s cool as there aren’t several chain rings, or 7,9 etc gears that need not clutter ones mind, and really are unnecessary as most do not utilize such small increments of adjustment ever really.
@@PRH123 I figured out which gears I will utilize, so why have these unnecessary gears that take up real estate on a beautiful piece of machinery. And let’s not forget the maintenance that is depressing enough to cause a thinking person to say there has to be better way.
@@johnsmithers284 it’s easy to find a 5 speed freewheel on Ali Express. And that mounts on a standard freewheel hub. And then any friction derailleur and shifter will work with it.

Hi, plan buying a cycle based on your need. If you are planning for long rides then a alloy frame is better as the weight is lesser than steel frame. If you are looking for a shorter commute then you can go for a steel frame. One thing you should keep in mind is older cycle frames are heavier than recent models which has mild steel frames. Yes you can buy a second hand and modify that. Below things you may need to check before buying. 1. Steel frame (you can check with a small magnet sticking on the frame) 2. Seat stay and chain stay should be with single rods (which makes the modification easier) 3. Cycle with V Brake or disc brakes are better as after extending the gap other brakes are difficult to set. 4. Last but importantly check for bike fit before you purchase your cycle. Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing this, very nice. Do you think this is applicable to small bicycles or to small foldable e-bike? Found a nice one which does not have gear shifters (just single gear and single sprocket), so I am wondering.
Only one person i saw able to fix and change the shifter, thanks a lot bro love from bd 🇧🇩,all yt videos are trash noting is showed by other stupid UA-camrs
How is the performance of gear? Is it work like the actual geared cycle or minor difference(which)? I have MTB tata stryder nx-20 single speed, as per below comments response you recommended 6 speed. Can you suggest the parts require like hub, axel, shifters, wire, drealiure, chain etc....? Need best combination to work.
Hi Kashyab Gandhi, Performance will be same and no difference is seen. One thing is the gear setting and alignment should be proper. If you cycle has a steel frame you can go ahead. I recommend to go for 5 or 6 speed as the gap will be less to accomodate a 7speed gear sprocket. - Same hub can be reused. - Axle needs to be purchased based on length after extending the gap. - All other components purchase link can be seen in the video description.
Hi, You can modify and install gears only if your cycle frame is of steel. you can install 21 speed gears and It works perfectly. If you want to use only gear freewheel in rear then don't use more than 5 gears for best shifting and low wear and tear of chain and freewheel gears. Yes you can install disc brake and you and find few online with disc brake adaptors. You can replace your rigid fork with suspension fork. To do this measure the diameter of your older fork and match the size while ordering.
Hi, you can check with a small magnet. If that sticks to frame then it's made of steel if not it's an alloy which we cannot modify. The part cost depends on the brand you choose. For an aftermarket copy will be approx 6k INR.
@@DIYCommunity bro I checked It is of steel so then I can modify I am so happy What does aftermarket copy mean If we are using good brands how much will it cost
Hi, Thanks you. It's a 7 speed freewheel installed and I haven't change the crank. Planning to change it to a 3 speed and checking on some compatibility.
Hi Jerian, Chain falls when the chain and chainring teeth doesn't match proper and other cause would be alignment between chainring and the gear freewheel. Check these and allign them properly to avoid chain slippage.
i am getting local vanum 7 speed gear set installed from a local cycling shop in rs800 only( price includes installation) So should i go for it??????or should i go for shimano?
Hi, with a proper alignment of wheel and adjusted of gears we can install in any cycle. Ensure the frame is of steel so that the gap can be increased to fit a gear freewheel.

how do you choose which gear set can fit your bicycle? or are the sizes universal? do we need to know the hub diameter or some other dimensions in order to choose the appropriate gear set?
Hi, This is a after market modification and does not have any standards or documentation available. Gear freewheel are made in a size to suit universal hub and choosing number of gears is based on gap available for it to run. Mostly available are 6 speed and 7 speed. I recommend to use upto 5 gear eventhough it has 7gear to avoid chain noise and slipping.

@@DIYCommunity my question is that if i install only 6 speed gears, then will i have to expand the frame and change the axle? Or the old setup would work ?
I have heard some feedback that replacing the single speed freewheel with multi-speed freewheel will de-shape the cycle frame. And having done this customization, the chain will come off frequently while riding the cycle. Is it a good idea to add gears to a normal cycle?
Bro can you please say can we fix thumb pressing gear in non gear cycle i want it to be fixed but the shopkeeper told it must be only 6 gears can we get and fix it please reply i need your help bro and my cycle is hercules top speed fx200 26t
Hi, you can install gears and as the shopkeeper said you can only go for max 6speed. If your cycle frame is made of steel you can enlarge the gap to accommodate gear freewheel if it's made up of aluminium alloy I don't recommend you to alter anything in frame as it might bent or break the frame.
Hi, there are 2 screws which you will be adjusting for both limits. This helps to protect the chain from coming away from gears while using the lowest or highest gear.
Hi, cold settings are permitted only on iron frames. So I don't recommend on any alloy or cast iron. Each metal has a permissible limit so it's good not to force too much. As we do this slowly and steadily there is lesser chance of breaking the part.
Hi, first confirm on the frame material. If it is of steel then you can do modification. You can add gears If it's alloy frame I don't recommend to do any change in its dimensions.
Is there a way to make a bike with a sturmy 3 speed compatible with a 3-speed cassette? Like, are there there any conversion kits? I love my hercules i found at the tip, and I wish to add a higher and lower gear without completely removing the 3 speed hub. There are 2 ways i can think of doing it. The problem is, do the parts/kits exist? One of my ideas is to replace the single speed sproket on the hub to a small 3-speed cassette, and the other is to replace the single speed drive gear with a 3-speed cassette. Any information would be huge.

@@DIYCommunity i am getting local vanum 7 speed gear set installed from a local cycling shop in rs800 only( price includes installation) So should i go for it??????or should i go for shimano?
Hi, yes you can install gears in turbine Swift 700c as the frame is made of mild steel. You can go for 5speed at rear for better performance. Hope this helps!
Hi, This bike is a 17yrs old Hercules model which I have restored. If you are interested I have restoration video on this bike. Kindly check out in my channel.
I recommend not to try any modifications on alloy frame as it may result cracks or even breaking the metal. If the bike has given space to install gears then you can go for it otherwise no.
bro my cycle frame is aluminium so its very difficult to adjust but i give too much force it come but i fear for frame may break what method should i follow to do follow to increase.(my cycle is adult bigger cycle approx axle size is 15 mm) bro 2nd question: how to adjust chain size if it is bigger
Hi Ashok, I do not recommend you to give much force as you said it will break. Aluminium needs to be heated and formed to the shape and that is difficult process for a cycle. Try finding 3 or 4 speed free wheel which can fit inside the gap. Chain size: if you are asking about the chain length you have to remove or add chain links to match the desired length. If you are asking for chain width then have to buy a new chain. For single speed and gear freewheel the chain comes in different specifications. Ask for one in the nearby shop. Hope this helps!
Hi Sarjerao, If your bike frame is of aluminium alloy then I don't recommend for any change. If it's a steel frame then you can make adjustments as shown to install a gear freewheel. You can choose only 5 or 6 speed to avoid chain slippages.
Hi, when you increase the size to accommodate the gears you need a long axle to get through the length. You can measure and get one. It should be easily available in nearby cycle store.
Sir how you are experiencing after gear installation, people say aftermarket gear installation create issue, do not work properly. I need to add gear to my single speed.
Hi, with correct allignment of rear wheel and making enough space for gears will work fine. Initially you may have to make some trial and error to get to that position. Once set then no difference between OEM or after market.
Hi Johny, the easy way would be adjusting it by pushing or pulling the joints between seat stays and chain stay, this should happen slowly with minimal force and step by step. Mark a center point and measure it now and them. Wheels should be removed and ensure bike is placed firmly in a bracket/vise. If you bike frame is Aluminum alloy then I will not recommend this as it may break. If you don't want to take a chance then get your bike to a nearest cycle mechanic and instruct then what you want. They can help you. Let me know the outcome. Stay connected, Thank you!
Hi! Planning for a cross country camping trip with friend pan India on bicycle, to save traveling costs on Fuel. can you suggest a good ad cheap bicycle which can travel 30000+ KMs with total 110KGs load on each cycle? Will our good and old Hercules and Hero cycles be OK? Or any particular cycle you suggest?
Hi, My best wishes for your cross country trip on bicycle. Old frames are of steel and they weigh heavier than recent models. Yes they are sturdy design but challenge is you need to consider the bike weight aswell for a cross country ride. I am not an expert to suggest you on this. As I aware a Decathlon bike expert can give you more tips on this ride and choosing a bike.
Hi Arun, You may have to check the gap for fixing gears. I believe Raleigh bike comes with upgrade option, If yes you can go for installing gears and if no then I don't recommend doing any changes on Alloy frames.
Hi Karthik, you can only go for 6x3 for better shifting experience. As the frame is not designed for gears we can not force too much to enlarge the gaps. And if your cycle frame is made of Aluminium alloy then it is not recommended to install gears unless the frame is designed to accommodate some gear freewheel.
Hi, I don't sell cycles. One suggestion is when you choose any cycle take it for a trial and make sure the fit is proper so that you don't get any problems in future. All the best buddy!
@@DIYCommunity I have the 8speed cassette hub,and 8 speed cassette, acera derailleur,, I will change the original hub with cassette hub,,, I just want to know, now please rply can I install
Hi Pradyut, firstly measure the size of your freewheel and new cassette, if they matches you can go for it. To my knowledge 8 speed will be bigger in size for which the space needs to be increased. As you bike already has gears extending the gap may reduce its strength and stability. Do the above checks and decide according.
Oh okay, sorry I didn't know that. In this case cassette installation is not worthy. 5 to 6 gears is optimum on its performance and more than that we may face difficulty in aligning the rear wheel and gear shifting.

Is ur cycle renewed btwin mybike?
Hi, This bike is a 17yrs old Hercules model which I have restored. If you are interested I have restoration video on this bike. Kindly check out in my channel.
I have a mafia bomma 29 inch, it's basicly a big bmx for wheelies and it has disk breaks, do you think it's possible to get gears on it?
Hi, If it has a steel frame then yes you can give a try.
@@DIYCommunity I think mine has a aluminum frame 😢 it's fine tho I'ma get a mtb for wheelies soon
I recommend not to try any modifications on alloy frame as it may result cracks or even breaking the metal. If the bike has given space to install gears then you can go for it otherwise no.
what if u dont have the gear thing in the middle either? im trying to turn a bike that has no existing gears into one with gears :(
It's been 2 years since this video was been uploaded
How's the condition of the gears now ? I really wanna know
Still gears are working good. But I haven't ride more as I was on a travel.
Very clear..👍
What is total price? Please reply 😅
Hi, I spent rs.1500/- 3 years ago. All spares I brought online. Price may vary now and Buying them locally may have a lesser price.
Awesome 👍
bro my cycle frame is aluminium so its very difficult to adjust but i give too much force it come but i fear for frame may break what method should i follow to do follow to increase.(my cycle is adult bigger cycle approx axle size is 15 mm)
bro 2nd question: how to adjust chain size if it is bigger
Hi Ashok, I do not recommend you to give much force as you said it will break. Aluminium needs to be heated and formed to the shape and that is difficult process for a cycle. Try finding 3 or 4 speed free wheel which can fit inside the gap.
Chain size: if you are asking about the chain length you have to remove or add chain links to match the desired length. If you are asking for chain width then have to buy a new chain. For single speed and gear freewheel the chain comes in different specifications. Ask for one in the nearby shop. Hope this helps!
Sunbird S Wolf Is MTB Cycle
I have Fantom Max single speed ...I want to fix gear in my bike? Is this possible?? If yes...so plz.. suggest me which speed is ok.?
Hi Sarjerao, If your bike frame is of aluminium alloy then I don't recommend for any change. If it's a steel frame then you can make adjustments as shown to install a gear freewheel. You can choose only 5 or 6 speed to avoid chain slippages.
How can I do the opposite of what you did in the video go from freewheel to fixed
Hi, you can remove the freewheel and install a fixed one with spacers next to it. So that don't need to adjust the gap and redo all brakes.
Thank you I also set gear my cycle
Can we fix it in Hercules dynamite ZX
Hi, If the frame is made up of steel you can give a try.
Fantastycnie tylko brak regulacji biegów z przodu.
Thank you, Gear adjustment is shown in another video
Can we never install the freewheel without the 200mm rear axle please reply 🙏🙏
Hi, when you increase the size to accommodate the gears you need a long axle to get through the length. You can measure and get one. It should be easily available in nearby cycle store.
@@DIYCommunity ok
Is there bottom set available with gear?? Pls
Chainless gear can get alone ??
Pls
Hi, you can check in a leading cycle spare shop for these items.
Sir how you are experiencing after gear installation, people say aftermarket gear installation create issue, do not work properly. I need to add gear to my single speed.
Hi, with correct allignment of rear wheel and making enough space for gears will work fine. Initially you may have to make some trial and error to get to that position. Once set then no difference between OEM or after market.
@@DIYCommunity thank you for you response and time sir. Thanks for information.
Bro minimum how many days gear machine work
Please reply
Hi, gears should work until they are worn out. Also maintaining them periodically extends their life.
Very Thank you bro
How to maintaining and expend there life of gear
Hi, maintain you cycle drive train by regularly cleaning it, oiling it and keeping the chain and gears in good alignment .
How to align wheel at the centre?? Mine is off center after installing gears
Hi Johny, the easy way would be adjusting it by pushing or pulling the joints between seat stays and chain stay, this should happen slowly with minimal force and step by step. Mark a center point and measure it now and them. Wheels should be removed and ensure bike is placed firmly in a bracket/vise.
If you bike frame is Aluminum alloy then I will not recommend this as it may break.
If you don't want to take a chance then get your bike to a nearest cycle mechanic and instruct then what you want. They can help you. Let me know the outcome. Stay connected, Thank you!
Hi! Planning for a cross country camping trip with friend pan India on bicycle, to save traveling costs on Fuel. can you suggest a good ad cheap bicycle which can travel 30000+ KMs with total 110KGs load on each cycle? Will our good and old Hercules and Hero cycles be OK? Or any particular cycle you suggest?
Hi, My best wishes for your cross country trip on bicycle. Old frames are of steel and they weigh heavier than recent models. Yes they are sturdy design but challenge is you need to consider the bike weight aswell for a cross country ride.
I am not an expert to suggest you on this. As I aware a Decathlon bike expert can give you more tips on this ride and choosing a bike.

I have a question can a local machanic do this for me?
Yes, why not
And you also do this
Bro back tyre ke break ma dikat aya ge tyre is little bit sifted
Hi, make the tyre centred by adjusting the seat stay. Tyre should always be centred for better balance and braking efficiency.
but you didn't add the front derailleur even though you added front derailleur switch..
I got a wrong chain ring delivered. So could not install that time.
Nic viii good job
I have Raleigh Thruster 29t Single Speed MTB. Can i fit gear on it ? Is that possible ??
Hi Arun, You may have to check the gap for fixing gears. I believe Raleigh bike comes with upgrade option, If yes you can go for installing gears and if no then I don't recommend doing any changes on Alloy frames.
@@DIYCommunity thank you sir 👍🙂
You are welcome!
@@DIYCommunity my cycle is steel frame sir
Hi then you can expand the rear gap to install gears. You can give a try or take help from a cycle mechanic. All the best !
Can I fit shimano alivio in my caya warrior 26 single speed cycle can I fit 27 speed gear (9×3) with cassette
Hi Karthik, you can only go for 6x3 for better shifting experience. As the frame is not designed for gears we can not force too much to enlarge the gaps. And if your cycle frame is made of Aluminium alloy then it is not recommended to install gears unless the frame is designed to accommodate some gear freewheel.
Where can i buy this gear set , i mean any website or flipkart ? Can you provide link
I brought from Flipkart. You can try any similar e-commerce websites as well. Also try with nearby cycle spares shop if available.
i need the reverse video...can i convert my geared wheel to a single freewheel?
Sir please send the link from where you buy the gear
Bro can a local machanic do this for me?
Don't you sell custom made cycles?
Big tire! 🔥
I want one
Those are pretty better than the normal ones
Hi, I don't sell cycles. One suggestion is when you choose any cycle take it for a trial and make sure the fit is proper so that you don't get any problems in future. All the best buddy!
Hello bhai ap ladies cycle me gare install kar sekthe ho
Yes, on any steel frame cycle
Can I use in Atlas firebird
Check whether frame made of steel then plan for modification.
I have a hero sprint thron 1.0 cycle I can install gear in that cycle
Hi, as your cycle frame is of steel you can try install gears.
Bhai is cycle mein konsa handle bar laga ha
Hi, This is normal handle bar which came with cycle
Very nice 👌👌👍👍
Is it possible to add gears in allumenium frame cycle? Please answer
Hi, If the manufacturer had provided gaps for adding gears then we can else we cannot increase the hub space in aluminium frame. If may break.
What happened to the front and rear brake pls?
Existing brakes can be used and no extra changes required
Bro make adjustment video of this same Derailleur
Hi Harim khan, sure will make one soon. Stay connected!
@@DIYCommunity OK bro but the derailleur should be the same shimano tz rd 7 speed
Can I install 8speed cassette on Raleigh strada 700c in this same process?
Hi, No 8speed can not be installed. For 8sprred the frame structure is different and that should be come from manufacturing to get the strength.
@@DIYCommunity I have the 8speed cassette hub,and 8 speed cassette, acera derailleur,, I will change the original hub with cassette hub,,, I just want to know, now please rply can I install
Hi Pradyut, firstly measure the size of your freewheel and new cassette, if they matches you can go for it. To my knowledge 8 speed will be bigger in size for which the space needs to be increased. As you bike already has gears extending the gap may reduce its strength and stability. Do the above checks and decide according.
@@DIYCommunity Raleigh strada 700c is a single speed bike,,, can't I expand the frame that much to fit the 8 speed cassette?
Oh okay, sorry I didn't know that. In this case cassette installation is not worthy. 5 to 6 gears is optimum on its performance and more than that we may face difficulty in aligning the rear wheel and gear shifting.
This will work in back seat cycle🤔
Brother Hope You Doing Well ☺️🤞
Brother kea yea 7gare jo ap ny video may dhkay hy yea 3x6 gare wale cycle may lag sakty hy Matlab mery pass 6 gare wale cycle hy use may yea 7gare waly gare shifter lag sak ty hy please reply me
I am doing well Dilip, Hoping everything well at your end too !
Yes you can convert your 18 speed to 21 just by replacing the gear sprocket and a 7 speed shifter. I haven't done that modification but I am sure that is a easy and feasible option.
