How to Upgrade a Bicycle from Freewheel to Freehub and Cassette

In this video I demonstrate how I replaced the freewheel rear drive train system on my bicycle with a freehub and cassette system. My primary reason for doing this upgrade was to avoid breaking axles. Over the last 10 years I've broken at least 10 axles. The tool that I used to remove the lock ring is the ParkTool FR7, which is actually designed for removing Falcon brand freewheels, but happens to have teeth which fit perfectly. The correct tool is called a "Cassette Lockring Tool" such as the ParkTool FR5 Here are some related videos which may be helpful for completing this upgrade on your bike: Stopping a Chain Whip from Slipping:    • Trick for Stopping a Chain Whip from Slipp...   How To Remove The Rear Wheel of a Bicycle    • How To Remove The Rear Wheel of a Bicycle   How to Change a Bicycle Tire    • How to Change a Bicycle Tire   How to Replace a Chain on Bicycle    • How to Replace a Chain on a Bike   How to Rebuild and Repair a Wheel Bearing on a Bicycle    • How to Rebuild and Repair a Wheel Bearing ...   How to Replace a Wheel Axle on a Bicycle    • How to Replace a Wheel Axle on a Bicycle   How to Rebuild a Bicycle Wheel with a New Rim    • How to Rebuild a Bicycle Wheel with a New Rim   How to Replace and Adjust the Rear Derailleur/Shifter Cable on a Bicycle    • How to Replace and Adjust the Rear Deraill...   I hope you enjoyed this video, please leave comments and SUBSCRIBE!
