The 7-speeds look ok, though. The 7x13-28 and 13-32 are the same gearing as a Shimano 8-speed cassettes but without the 11t
A lot of IRD's freewheel and cassette sequences bug me, but it might be unfair to complain as I'm not a current customer. Even though they provide the wider ranges they claim are more in demand, the jumps are uneven in most combinations. It's too bad they don't sell the cogs individually, since they're making them anyway.
