The 1993 Sachs 8-speed freewheel delivers a 13-25 tooth spread that suits rolling terrain and quick transitions. The small 13-tooth sprocket lets you push hard on descents or fast sections, while the 25-tooth bottom gear gives you a usable climbing ratio without a huge jump between cogs.
Threaded to the British standard BSC 1.375×24, this freewheel screws directly onto a compatible hub. The steel sprockets are cut for period indexing and respond cleanly to chain engagement. Whether you are rebuilding a late-80s or early-90s road machine, the 8-speed spacing puts you right in the era when indexed shifting became the norm.
Photos form part of the description. They show the tooth profiles, the finish and the threading, so you get the full picture of what you are fitting.
For a slightly wider range from the same era, the 7-speed Sachs 12-26 from 1993 adds a lower climbing gear. If you prefer a later block with the same 13-25 range, the Sachs 8-speed from 1998 is another period-correct option.
It uses the British standard BSC 1.375×24 thread. This fits hubs designed for that threading, common on many vintage road bikes.
No. The technical specifications list oxidation as "No", so the steel body and sprockets are free from rust spots.
The range is 13 to 25 teeth. The 13-tooth sprocket is the high gear for speed, and the 25-tooth sprocket is the low gear for climbing.
The freewheel is made of steel, which gives solid durability for period-correct drivetrains.
