5-Speed SACHS MAILLARD Freewheel 1988 Vintage Touring Bike 14-24 BSC 1.375x24 Eroica RC28

The 1988 SACHS MAILLARD freewheel condenses a five-sprocket cluster into one threaded steel unit. It is dated 1988 and steps from 14 to 24 teeth, giving a close-ratio window that suits a period-correct British-thread hub without dominating the rear wheel.

Photos form part of the description.

A Five-Speed Cluster in Steel

The assembly is made of steel, and the specification sheet lists no oxidation. That absence matters when you are building a wheel that will be inspected up close. A BSC 1.375 x 24 thread pitch anchors it to a large family of classic English-threaded hubs, while the five-speeds keep the shifting layout period-appropriate for the late 1980s.

For a slightly wider range, the 5-Speed Normandy Freewheel Vintage Touring Bike 14-28 BSC 1.375x24 Eroica RC25 steps up to 28 teeth, which changes the climbing character noticeably. If you are comparing late SACHS production, the 7-Speed SACHS MAILLARD Freewheel Vintage Racing Bike 1992 13-26 BSC 1.375x24 eroica RC23 shows how the marque pushed into tighter racing clusters just a few years later.
