 I was sent this Sachs 7 Speed Freewheel recently and was surprised to find that the internal bearings are held in place by plastic cages. I'd never seen this in the Shimano, Suntour, Regina or Atom freewheels I had serviced. As you can see there about 2/3rds less bearings in this system. While I was able to clean and service the bearings and cages, I wonder if Sachs meant for the bearings and cages to be replaced? It would seem the sensible thing to do since it was quite a tedious process to scrape the old, plaster-like, grease from the cages and bearings.   As can be seen, the bearings are offset in the cages towards the center. This insures proper contact with the races. This particular freewheel used both threaded and splined cogs in order to build it to the body.

In sports, they always hold tournaments to determine which team is the best. Typically, tournaments span for a few months. A regular season can span for about six months and can field about sixty games. After a rigorous regular season, the teams who performed at the top get to play in the playoff season. In the playoffs, the best teams battle it out in a short tournament. Personally, I believe that the being able to enter the finals is really hard. 4/11/2024 12:02:41 am
