I found that I like older freewheels after trying the newer ramped shimano offerings early on because I could better feel/hear the actual shift process and therefore could tell I had the chain in the sweet spot.

When i first tried ramps people I was riding with had to tell me to adjust my chain half the time. That’s my age I know.

Right now I have a suntour perfect 5 speed apart and ready to lube. It’s great fun and since the cogs aren’t worn it will run just like new.

I do like six speeds better but have a harder time finding ultra spaced versions.
