There are two different hub designs for BMX, freewheels and freehubs. You need to know what you have if you want to replace the sprocket by the rear wheel.

What is the best method for removing a BMX freewheel without causing damage, and what specific tool, such as a BMX freewheel removal tool, would be recommended for this task?

The best method for removing a BMX freewheel without causing damage is to use a BMX freewheel removal tool. This tool is specifically designed to safely and effectively remove the freewheel without damaging the hub or other components. Simply attach the removal tool to the freewheel and use a wrench to loosen and remove it. This method ensures a smooth and successful removal process.


What is better a 9t bmx freewheel or a 14t bmx freewheel?

It's not really a question of better, more of different. What decides how fast the top speed of the bike is, and how nippy it is off the start is the ratio between the tooth count of the crankset, and the tooth count of the freewheel. With a smaller freewheel you can have a smaller crankset, a slightly lighter bike and get the same feel of the bike as with a bigger crankset and a bigger freewheel.

How do you remove the rear gear of mongoose rebel 20 bike?

I'm assuming you're asking about how to remove the freewheel, as the Mongoose Rebel 20 is a single-gear BMX. In that case you need the correct freewheel puller to get the freewheel off. Check out www.parktools.com for more info.


Can you take a driver of the back wheel of a bmx?

I don't really know what you're calling a driver, but it's probably the sprocket and the freewheel mechanism. And yes, it can be removed. You need a special tool, a freewheel puller, and it has to match the make of the freewheel that you have. check out www.parktool.com for more info.


What size freewheel do you need for a 24t sprocket?

Unless by freewheel you mean driver (in which case 8-9) I haven't ridden bmx in a few years but last time I checked the smallest freewheel you could buy was 12 tooth which would make for quite a low ratio


What are the differences between a freewheel and a cassette in a BMX bike?

In a BMX bike, a freewheel is a single unit that includes both the gears and the ratcheting mechanism, allowing the rider to coast without pedaling. On the other hand, a cassette is a set of individual gears that can be removed and replaced separately, providing more customization options for gear ratios.

What are the differences between a cassette and a freewheel in BMX bikes?

In BMX bikes, a cassette and a freewheel are both types of rear hubs that allow the rider to coast without pedaling. The main difference is that a cassette has multiple cogs (gears) that are integrated into the hub, while a freewheel has the cogs attached to a single unit that screws onto the hub. Cassettes are generally more durable and allow for smoother gear changes, while freewheels are easier to replace and maintain.


Can a 9 tooth driver fit on any bmx bike hub?
