Shimano or Suntour ideally but at the end of the day as long as it's chrome I don't care.  :LolLolLolLol:

Suntour.. Shimano used to give up too easy. I run a dicta one on my race bike at the mo, cheap and has outlasted a set of flites so seem to be good enough quality for racing :daumenhoch:

another freewheel thing to watch out for - never NEVER EVER spray wd40 into a freewheel
it will destroy very quickly

if you have an old one, try it and see what i mean
