Maillard 700 Course “Super” 6-Speed Freewheel- 13x26
Hello!
Up for sale is a super clean Maillard 700 Course “Super” 6-speed freewheel. It is a 13x26 (13-15-17-20-23-26). I replaced the 20, 23, and 26t cogs with some NOS parts around 100 miles ago. It has BSA threading.
Thanks!
$45/shipped

The pictures make the freewheel look more scratched than it actually is. This thing is in great shape!

That rough finish quality seen close up on the Maillard cogs is pretty typical/normal despite it being their top line 700 series FW (Typical French quality back then.). I have many of these FWs and they all look like this.
You only notice the scratches from the factory if you look at the cogs very closely...
They are very good/reliable FWs and never gave me any trouble all the years I had been using them
.....unlike a few Reginas I had owned....

Where do you get removers for these? I have a nice Maillard 13-26 6sp (don't know the model) whose splines will almost fit a standard Shimano remover, but not quite.

kroozer the "splines" you see are not for removal of the freewheel from the hub. As mentioned above, look closer and you will see the two notches for removal.
The splines you do see are part of the retaining ring/outer bearing race which secures the two body halves of this model together. It takes a special tool, similar to a sealed BB tool, to disassemble for service. Most freewheels have two small holes for a pin spanner or a punch. Maillard tried this for a few years. My guess is they abandoned it because it is a perfect place to attract and accumulate dirt.
This model was eventually replaced by Sachs Aris freewheels. As a side note, the many of the Aris sprockets can fit this body with no or just a little modification.
Over the winter, I worked on several Maillard Helicomatics, and they also sport the same "scratchy" finish.

Good ratios on this one. I use a Maillard freewheel on my trainer with Shimano 600 6spd index shifting. Works really well with the indexing. GLWS!

I don't understand how people can ride with such high gears. Maybe they live in an area without hills? That wouldn't be my area, for sure. Or maybe they have legs of Lance, IDK.

A 28t big cog is only 3" lower using a racing 52/42 double. And the op's cluster would work perfectly with a 52/39 and a short cage rd. But not everybody is athletic.

They are a few modern but vintage looking sub-compact cranks (46/30) that should make this freewheel rideable for most people in most situations.
