And the seller is a member on here :daumenhoch: I bought one of these and it's damn perfect :coolsmiley: Great value for money. The Dicta's are okay for minimum mileage Dan but wait til they get dusty or proper dirty from 'non road/pavement' riding. You will change your mind then :D

Aren't you running a 1/8 chain though? No sloppage problems with a 3/32 freewheel?

It's the other way round bro. You cannot run a 3/32 chain on 1/8 freewheel. The link slots are too small

Oh, i see. I've avoided buying those freewheels for nothing then, anyway i'm off to paint some tyres ;D
Jon The Bassist:
If it's a decent freewheel and just full of gunk then get it cleaned out - I won't be binning my nearly new ACS freewheels for sure. Likewise if it's worn then just get another :daumenhoch:
If any serious riding is to be done then you need to be looking at Suntour/Shimano as a minimum.
