I am running a Shimano 600 freewheel right now, but tomorrow I am going to try my Everest Extraleggera 13-23 and see how that works. i'm expecting the same wonderful results as with the Shimano 600. I also have a nearly NOS Shimano Dura Ace 14-22 that I will try as well.
I am very impressed with this derailleur so far, and expect it to continue to put a smile on my face. I'm also running a SRAM PC-830 chain.
