In the first days Shimano only manufactured sprockets by stamping them out, later they were deep drawn to produce the Hyperglide profiles and also to strengthen the sprockets through the forging process, the older cranks still had the old distance, so they were mounted with washers to correct the position .

Too bad here in our place, its very hard to find a 24 tires and rims... Btw, that v-brake adaptor a hard to find here too, first time seeing that in your video. 😅 Anyways, very nice vid!

Thank you for the nice video. If I may, two little pieces of advice from me: 1. When you use detergents to clean your derailleur, you should deassembly the entire part and lubricate it (especially the mainspring and derailleur cage spring). 2. It would be a good idea if you level the ends of the cables with a locksmith's file or an angle grinder to prevent damage to the Cable End Crimps
