Anyway, for the cost, you could burn though four of these.

I replaced the original 6-speed freewheel on my Raleigh Super Course with a 7-speed, ramped, SunRace. Here's my review of it. It was a bit tight for my spacing but it works. If you're concerned with that, go for just a straight replacement (6 gears).

I think the improvement in shifting is phenomenal.
