Where to buy a BMX Freewheel and Chain?

Where is the best place to buy a BMX Sugino, ACS or Shimano Freewheel and a KMC Chain? :-[
Seems there are lots of online retailors which sell KMC chains. But I don't understand all the different types. Was going to go with one of those 510 they do. :-\
What about Freewheels? There is a very limited supply online. Seen the cheap Dicta's at AlansBMX, are these any good? :-\
Thanks chaps. :daumenhoch:

Hey buddy.
I would stay away from cheap freewheels. Nothing worse than standing up, powering down on the cranks, and the freewheel give out on you. That's why now, if I am going to ride the bike hard, I use a White Ind freewheel. Expensive in the Uk, but in the US they are quite cheap. If you want one, let me know. I have a shipment coming over in the near future that i tag one into.
As for chains, most KMC are pretty good. I use the KMC Z510 HX, heavy duty, and their Inox chain, which is stainless steel :daumenhoch:

I have a few of the new Shimano SF MX30 freewheels. They look great, and the build quality is good. The only thing they lack is that lovely old school clicking sound when you back pedal, as they are silent
