Does anyone have experience locking up Sheldon Brown style with a Krypto Evolution MINI ??

I haven't bought one yet, but it's small size would be awesome if you could still lock up the proper way.

Freewheel brands

Ok~

So I have the hardest time believing that there are no well-built SS freewheels out there... my bike mech told me that they're all built for BMX bikes, and they're all crappy.

Is this true?...
