thank you all for the info on these hubs. The bottle opener tool, wasn't that only for helicomatic hubs? These wheels came with a nice shimano freewheel.
Speaking of shimano freewheels, for the past month or so I've been running a narrow 7 speed shimano dura ace freewheel on my raleigh pro and I love it. The machined teeth which are obviously meant for indexed shifting allow for very easy and quick shifting. Dare I say it's almost like having indexed shifting. has anyone else run a similar set up? any draw backs?
