Need some freewheel help
I decided to tackle a freewheel overhaul for the first time. For the most part, it was easy... now I am second guessing the proper orientation to install the cogs. How do these get arranged?
The freewheel is a Suntour pro-compe 6 speed. The only marking I could find was a “30” on the largest cog |

...if you're talking about cog radial orientation, I don't think it matters. I've never paid attention to it in reassembling a Suntour 5 or 6 cog freewheel. The order of them, large to small, and the spacing, sort of takes care of itself if you have the spacers.

Sharp edges should face the drive side if that's what you're asking about.
Otherwise the shifting really suffers! |

So, looking at the photo, it looks correct... right?

Well, dang! I’ll need to go fix it.

...no. Here is what a new one looks like...the two largest cogs have the chamfered edge reversed. Which makes it easier to shift down from them.
