Worn freewheel

Any opinions on whether to bin it or give it a whirl? View attachment 417059 View attachment 417059

A good 2000 miles in that yet.

Run it with the chain that's on it until the chain is knackered... Then when you need a new chain you'll have to replace it.. There's no point in changing it unless when you change the chain it slips... And I'm guessing that one would slip if a new chain was fitted..

One cannot tell by looking, and 'guessing' is nugatory. Measure your chain and if it's more than 0.75% and less than 1% elongated, change it; and if the new chain slips on any of the sprockets (more likely the middle ones) then change the freewheel. If the chain's more than 1% elongated (already), do what Dan (above) says. Happy riding for many miles thereafter.

I have never used this block myself as it came with a wheelset.
It does not appear to be skipping with a part worn chain that has been gathering dust for a very long time, so happy dayz for now.
I really must get around to measuring the chain, before I clock up any more miles on it.
