don't know what ws in there and don't know what I got now. it was getting noisy and even a little loose so one shop last summer tightened it. well on my next ride it was still noisy and by the end of the ride it sounded like a dishwasher. I brought it another shop that after replacing it showed me it had self destructed. if yours is noisy I suspect the inards have broken even though you may still be able t ride it. it's been problem free about a year later even riding it through the winter. I just replaced the chain again, ugh and still have some chain hop so I'm bringing it in cuz I probably need another freewheel. guess it was a rough winter on the drivetrain.
