I am buying a BMX freewheel, don't know if brands matter. I saw this and don't know if its a good deal or not. Any suggestions? LBS wants $15 for a shimano freewheel.

EDIT

NEVERMIND

I looked at shipping, they want $8. The LBS just won by a landslide LOL.

Bikes: Redline Mono-cog converted to BMX cruzer, 79 Peugeot single speed, Fuji s12-s single speed, Centurion Ironman single speed (see a pattern?)

looks like a relabled Ditca, which are OK quality. I wouldn't bother with it and just buy a Shimano, they are quieter, smoother and are machined better.

i have an ACS that came with the bike that is fine -- except a little inherently noisy
i have another ACS (given to me by Boss Hogg) that makes a pesky ticking sound when I pedal

ACC makes one with huge ratchets and is removed with a spline BB tool.
