My freewheel is a 8.8.8 Maeda Perfect, in a 5-speed format: 15, 17, 19, 21, 24.

So, would that work well with a 53/42 double?
This should work fine it is pretty close to what was stock common for this bike and the components you have. Also the 53/39 should work on this set up. The previously stated concerns were based on the mega range 38tooth freewheel.
