It'd be $40 to do it, but still less than the IRD 13-32!
I work on a great number of FWs and the challenge with the least expensive Shimanos is how they are assembled. The large cogs are held together with a spider and rivets, thus rendering customization next to, if not impossible.

Sunrace FWs are said to function just as well as the Shimano HG FWs. I've not tried them but do have a new one in my spares and looks great and does not have the big black cog with "Shimano" in the last position.

They run in $20-30 range shipped.
