Pre '64 Huret spoke protectors on Ebay

[Eric Amlie]

These are kind of a Holy Grail. I've never seen them for sale before in 17 years of watching Ebay.
These are the slotted design.
I just grabbed 5 of them.

Holy rusted metal batman! I got my 3!

I think they'll round out the wall quite nicely...

...now if I could only get those damn freewheels off!

I like that crank wall! Those spoke protectors went FAST, I was fortunate to get 2.

If you mean the old Atom or Regina two-notch versions the best way to get them off is with a #8 easy-out: http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...ina-freewheel-dremel-rescue.html#post18334706

No visible damage to the freewheel and "Schwinn Approved"

On the other hand if the freewheel is splined then I use the proper splined tool and one of these:

Yeah fast indeed...wonder where they're all headed

Yeah, your advice on using an impact was worth its weight in gold.

#8 Easy out works great .Getting some Kroil to the threads helps also.

The easy out is the only thing that works for me. Even the correct freewheel tool just peels the lip off like shaving a piece of pine.
