Original Freewheel Unavailable. Replacement part?
I've got a modest Hyper hybrid bike with 700c wheels and broke the freewheel, but I like it and use it for errands. Can't find the Shimano SunRun 7 speed 14 - 28t freewheel as a part. Can you recommend a replacement that is readily available, not too expensive, and is likely to fit?

Shimano Tourney/TY MF-TZ500 7-Speed Multiple Freewheel, 14-28 Tooth
Okay. I actually saw this. Won't be a problem with a) spacing between cogs and b) fit over hub on a 700c wheel? Am I correct all 7 speed Shimano freewheels have same spec for fit?

I recommend the Sunrace all-chromed 7-speed freewheels from eBay, like this one:

Suggestions above are good.
Most 7-speed freewheels will generally be compatible with each other. However, it is always a good idea to adjust the rear derailleur stops and the rear derailleur indexing when you replace the freewheel.
