I took the rear wheel of our T50 over to Wheel Away yesterday afternoon to get them to remove the cassette. It takes two chain whips or similar tools to remove the 7 speed Suntour cassette. My plan after the rim cracked was to salvage the Sansin hubs (both front and rear) and the Suntour cassette and sell/trade them to someone more interested in C&V than I.
The mechanics at Wheel Away (three of them) tried for 10 minutes; and broke a chain whip; but nothing moved. It probably has not been apart since it was made 20 years ago.
I am think applying some penetrant between the small cog and the rest of the cassette, and letting in soak in, rotate the cassette 180° and repeat; then trying to bust it loose.
Suggestions?
