Bike Tire and Gear Belt

Step 5 Take apart rear gear cluster

Now separate all the gears in the cluster from each other. expensive clusters can be un-screwed. cheap ones are riveted and you need a grinding wheel to get it apart (see photos).

With the rivets; I always drill them out but I must try the angle grinder option, thanks.

Found a rear cluster in a dumpster behind my local bicycle store and dissected it today! I plan to make an Instructable on how to take a rear cluster apart, and I remembered this Instructable at the last moment so I thought I'd check back.
