Don't they look happy? Greased, oiled, and ready for reassembly! Sometime last year, while visiting what we call in my small New Hampshire town, "The Stump Dump," I was able to rescue a few freewheels. They were all filthy, gritty, and either didn't or barely moved. Their "clicks" had disappeared. Their cogs were buried under years of road and chain dirt. Most Classic & Vintage bicycle enthusiasts would have been sad these mechanical marvels had been so poorly neglected. But not the FreeWheelSpa meister! Into the spa they went for a full force treatment. A while later, they emerged ready for new grease and oil conditioning! L-R: Suntour, Shimano, Shimano Immediately I could see how rejuvenated they felt. Their pawls were beaming and bending back and forth. Their bearings felt as if they had just emerged from the factory. Their housings, spacers and lock rings felt as if they had just been minted at the foundry. Their Cogs and spacers had never felt so clean!! They were very happy for first time in years, if not decades! Before long they were fully reassembled and ready for years of service. FreeWheelSpa can do for your freewheels and cassettes what these three orphans experienced. Check out my "SERVICES" page. Thanks!

Carlos, I'm sorry, but I don't. Have you checked Sheldon Brown's website? He probably had a list. But will say it is not critical.

In my normal life I'm a pastor, really, a husband, and a dad. In my spare time I ride and wrench bikes. Freewheel Spa might be a good way to contribute to Soc Sec! Archives
