>>1613276road bike parts and mtb parts diverged sometime around the introduction of 9 or 10 speed chains
really old road bikes have much in common with BSO
and 12 speed bikes kind of mix and match parts anyway so it might work
only problem is getting the chain or sprocket too close to the drop out
>dem wrecked spokes tho>I've never had a freewheel before. Is this normal?free wheels have only few big pawls and much strong springs, so they drag a bit more than free hubs
but it might also be age and grime has dried it out, get some oil inside of the freewheel
I found and old Shimano Z012-6 Freewheel that hardly moved at all - after being submerged in oil for three days it spins just fine
>14-28 would be nicerthe gaps between ratios on those are a bit gronk even for un racing purposes
.eg 14 16 18 21 24 28
you could just run a smaller front chain ring instead like how early 2000s hybrid bikes do
