Single-speed Helicomatic freewheel

[gerryattrick]

I am in the process of converting my late 60s Sun into a single speed.

I have a good condition Mavic MA2 Argent wheel with a Helicomatic hub that I would like to use if possible, as it would save me looking for a new rear wheel.

I suspect I will be out of luck, but it's worth a punt. Is there anything out there in someone's spares bin?

was such a thing ever made ?

Nope, you will either have to modify an existing 5 sp fw or change the hub.

Looks like someone has had a stab.......

Re:

Yes, they did exist. I believe they were often used on BMX bikes.
