Looking to buy a Freewheel
Is this a good freewheel?

Shimano 18 tooth freewheel for 1/2"x1/8" - Walmart.com

Currently, Walmart doesn't have this item in stock. Anyone know any shops that do? Any alternative options besides the Shimano?

Shimano freewheels are generally decent. Make sure you can get a remover for whatever freewheel you decide upon.

I've been satisfied with my Excess Components freewheel.
