No, not boots of leather, but stainless steel sprockets of a White Industries twin sprocket freewheel.

I bought this for use on the roadrat - which might even be finished this weekend.
Of course like any real man, the first thing I did was take it to bits. Here’s what’s inside-

With the top cap removed the single sealed ball race, retaining clip and O ring seal are exposed.

Removing the rear seal exposes the stainless ramps.

The body just pulls out now leaving the shell and catridge bearing.

The stainless hub with o-ring seal and three pawls.
And that’s all there is. It’s a really simple elegant design that looks like it should last well. The only slight niggle, and it’s really slight, is that it would have been nice to have a stainless top cap, rather than an anodized ali one. Unless you have a specialised pin tool that can lock onto the freewheel then the ali one just strikes me as a bit to soft to be turned with just two small pins. I hadn’t got a pin spanner with the right size pins, so used a hammer and punch.. I have left out pictures of what the top cap looks like after I removed it. People who like shiny things would cry :)
