I was just wondering what brand of freewheel most people are using on their singlespeeds. I have always had pretty good luck with Shimano freewheels, but I have had friends that complain they make grinding noises. I noticed that White industries makes the ENO freewheel with a sealed bearing in it, has anyone tried it?

Thanks,

I have used both ACS Claws and White Ind. I like the White Ind best.

I have an ACS Claws on my flip flop and the one time that I have ridden it that thing was so LOUD that I couldn't stand it! I didn't have to say anything to any pedestrains, they could hear me coming.
