new freewheel
so i had a new Shimano MF-TZ20 6speed freewheel put on yesterday, does anyone know the quality of it?, its on my '87 centurion(indexed) btw, and also, on the bigger cogs it seems to give me a tiny bit of a grinding feeling, like its not compatible or something strange

The quality is as good as anything ... Did you replace the chain at the same time? If not how many miles were on the chain? Is the indexing protion adjusted properly?

i seem to have fixed it, the chain had that sticky factory grease stuff on it, and so i cleaned that off and lubed it with chain oild and i seem to be running great
