13T Freewheel
I searched and found nothing. I have a flip-flop hub and want to run a smaller gear(I'm running 44-16). I would like to run a 36-13, the rollout is a little higher and that's okay. So are the 13T freewheels durable enough for racing?

I suppose, most GOOD 16T freewheels have 4 pawls. The highest count I a 13T I've found is 3 pawls (made by Odyssey, check Dans Comp). You're giving up durability for lighter weight, and that awesome look of a lower gearing.

It would be higher gearing, not lower you knob.
High gearing:
Low gearing:

Lower teeth count! Lower teeth! I'm a math major with a 3.6 GPA, I know what I'm saying. You should consider a job in comedy.

I don't give a **** if you're a math major or the good lord himself, you're stupid and it's spreading through the BMX forum like cancer. Go away.

wtp is right.
Christ, it's alright if you don't know everything about bmxing, that's what the forum is for, learning.
But it really is getting annoying that you post about 1000 times a day, most of which are useless or incorrect information.

Learn to read WTP. His front sprocket will be changed out as well.

(36/13 = 2.77) > (44/16 = 2.75). Just. Changing both is still going to make his gearing higher, not lower -- though by such a small margin it doesn't matter.

I know that! Smaller gears have always been hot. I'm saying 36/13 looks a whole lot better than 44/16. I am not talking about changing gear ratios.

Ok, to settle this I will be getting a smaller front sprocket and freewheel, which will in turn actually make my ratio a little bit higher. So I guess you could say I'm getting a higher gear, but I'm getting smaller sprockets.

Did you ask your local stores? They could probably dig around for you and order without you doing work.

No, I haven't asked any of my LBS's yet, but I could. And do you mean I could get one without ordering it?
