...but since it comes in both 1/8th and 3/32nd sizes you might as well buy the freewheel that matches your current setup. An incorrect width of drivetrain setup, poor chain tension, and bad chain line can cause you to throw your chain often. Eleminate the incorrect drivetrain width and your less likely to throw a chain.... I'm not saying the Moto Tracks have a bad setup, I just dont get the whole "you can run either width". Just get it right.

I have a Shimano freewheel and its a good component. I'm sure just as much worth the money as the ACS.
