I got a couple parts from a seller on craigslist today
included was a NOS suntour freewheel.
I was wondering if it was a winner freewheel.
theres a marking on the inside that reads "patent nwn" and another marking
of "AJ"
the rest of the marking are suntour and maeda markings.
its a 5 speed 13-32
no pictures right now but I'm hoping someone can identify from just the description.


also included was a freewheel remover from bicycle research that has 4 notches
don't know what type its for but looks interesting.
again no pictures now but hoping the description is enough

That sounds like a New Winner. They have a distinctive lockring arrangement as seen in this ebay listing SUNTOUR NEW WINNER FREEWHEEL 6 SPEED 13/21 | eBay

I think the four pronged remover is for later Suntour freewheels.

Yup: "NWN" designates a "New Winner" freewheel, and either the original 2-prong or later 4-prong remover will work.

"AJ" is the date code. I believe A is for 1984 and J would be October. To be sure go to vintage-trek.com and look under date components.

sweet, thanks for the confirmation.

I'm really stoked that I found this too.
it was a new years eve miracle.
best $5 I ever spent.

just thought id bring this thread back up to post pictures
since buying it ive been really looking forward to using it.
im a pretty young guy so ive never used any of these components new
I bought a new sakae chainring from the guy too which was my initial purchase I have no use for it but I figured id find use for it one day.

let that be a reminder to always impulse buy

my first thought aswell.

I never thought I'd say that about a freewheel.

its pretty, thats for sure. id like to go from 5 to 6 speeds on my rear freewheel. id love to find a sweet NOS deal like this...
