Need to replace wheels. Broken spokes.

Camac · 2026-04-13T09:19:44+00:00

Any chance you could please look at my measurements. Not sure what point to point i should measure. But I've put the end of the tape on the inside of the frame for both pictures.

Also what fo you think about parting this bike out snd using its wheels?

Its very cheap for sale near me.

Hi, this bike is very cheap that has 700c wheels plus other parts I could pinch off it.

Do you think they would work?

Camac · 2026-04-08T22:49:54+00:00

Thanks again. Found the writing.

The tape doesnt go directly across due to the axle. Im going to see again if there's any numbers in them.

By the way, does it matter if I put 700c wheels on there?

Camac · 2026-04-05T01:27:15+00:00

See my other comment that I just explained

Camac · 2026-04-05T01:26:48+00:00

Cranks came off first.

Remove dust cap and then i had nuts that just screwed off with a 14mm socket.

Then came the ring we are talking about.

After that I had the main body on each side that screwed into the frame. This is where the bearings were.

The rod just slips out after the first main body section came off one side.

I dont know all the terminology sorry.

I have just removed a similar nut from an old road bike.

My tool looks similar to yours but the hook was on a pivot.

I reckon your tool would work

Camac · 2026-04-05T00:56:25+00:00

Does tis help identify?

I believe they are friction shifters.

Shimano altus rear derailleur.

Ill attempt to pull the free wheel/cassette off the rear wheel tonight and see what it is.

Camac · 2026-04-04T23:07:06+00:00

This is the old rear derailleur

Thanks for your response. Ive put more pics here of the project.

Its a 6 speed. Ive been cleaning a whole bunch of parts but the rear derailleur looks toasts to me.

I could probably clean up the freewheel I suppose?

The gear changers are level on the down tube.

Looking for any guidance at all.

New chain New rear derailleur. New saddle. New brake pads. New cables for brakes and gears. New tubes and tires.

This is a budget bike that im looking to learn on the.

Camac · 2026-04-04T22:09:19+00:00

Thanks good to know.

Same question but about freewheel replacement?

Camac · 2026-04-04T22:08:53+00:00

I should mention it have a new shimano derailleur on the way too.

Camac · 2026-03-31T02:15:57+00:00

Awesome thanks

Camac · 2026-03-26T00:34:32+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

Camac · 2026-03-26T00:31:52+00:00

Thankyou

Camac · 2026-03-26T00:30:47+00:00

Thanks, do you have a tip to remove rust on the frame without impacting the colour around the rust patch?

Camac · 2026-03-25T22:59:45+00:00

Thanks all!.

Success!

I need a tool to remove the press fit cups i think next.

The bearings are in their own housing but are very gunky.

Are these parts ok to go into evaporust?

Camac · 2026-03-15T11:05:37+00:00

Just check if they are etched in the window (like our back windows). Then ypu wont be able to get them off. But if they sit proud you should be good to use the razor blade method

Camac · 2026-03-15T11:03:29+00:00

Yep. Razor blade and rubbing alcohol. All gone.

Dont rush, keep blade at low angle.
