I've no personal experience with Falcon freewheels except to see them routinely on X-Mart level bikes and their reputation is not exactly stellar. My limited experience with Shimano freewheels (As a user. I never disassembled one) was very good and I found them equal to the older Sun tours except they shifted better.
