Title: New freewheel for Rad Mini4?
Post by: sher715rad on March 26, 2022, 05:34:24 PM
The bearings are shot on the freewheel for my mini4 and so I'd like to replace it. Rad wants $40+ plus shipping for a new one which seems awfully high to me.

I'm guessing that this is a standard item used for other kinds of bikes but I don't know what to even search for or what to ask. Can anyone give me any advice on what to search for, or the model or size?  Are there any good sources for these?

Thanks for any help that you can give.

40 kinda sounds about right. The most important thing is the ratio of gearing. You can find 14-34 everywhere but the Mini has an 11-34!

That small 11 tooth cog is pretty important for top speed on a small wheeled bike.

So......do your search for a "7 speed 11-34 freewheel"
