>>1361481>>1361490>old freewheel>He's confusing you. He thinks you have a freewheel, not a cassetteRight yeah I was getting confused. The rear wheel on this bike has a freehub and cassette, not a freewheel, because the wheels are from the '90s (yes the frame is from the early '80s but for some reason when I got this bike it had wheels from the '90s on it). In fact I only yesterday realised that this bike would have originally come with a 126mm width rear wheel with 6-speed gearing, while my rear wheel is 130mm 8-speed.
>Have you got like an 8spd campag cassette for some retarded reason? Yes. Unfortunately. That's how the bike came. I wish it was a fucking Shimano hub because then I could buy a brand new Claris 8-speed cassette and they're pretty damn cheap, like £20 or possibly less from some places. And they come with much better and more modern gear ranges (e.g. you can get 11-28, 11-30, 11-32, and even 11-34, while my bike has 13-26, and even that seems like one of the widest ranges available for 8-speed Campag).
>It's like someone has dropped a fucked alfa romeo engine in an old daihatsu.Maybe not quite like that, because this Raleigh did originally have a Campag groupset, but it would have been 6-speed instead of 8-speed.
But yeah I have been looking for new sprockets (the two that I think need replacing) as well as new cassettes, but full cassettes are kinda expensive. I could get a brand new Miche 8-speed cassette (e.g. pic related) which should be compatible but it'll cost me like £30 including shipping. I found one individual sprocket I need and it's like £8 including shipping, but I haven't found the other one, which is annoying.
