Only the Shimano fw does this and there are plenty of other comparably priced freewheels like the ACS Crossfire that don't. Having said that, the WI fw is really nice and worth the extra cost.

I had an acs claw before the shimano that did the same knocking sound, never tried the crossfire(never even knew there were different models actually).

Yeah, totally different model, a bit more expensive than the Claws but well worth it. The only downside is that it needs a different removal tool and it's usually necessary to remove the axle cone locknut before it can be used.

Fish burritos have to have rice, it is mandatory. And, they should be made with lots of spices or covered with hot salsa!

''''''''''''' You can borrow these....

there's a local place called fuzzy's tacos that makes temupra fish and tempura shrimp burritos. holy **** they're good!!
also, they use a garlic sauce and feta cheese on their tacos/burritos....only place i've eaten that does this and it's amazing!!

^ let's be real about it, tempura or not, anything deep fried is better.

^^ i don't agree that fish needs to have rice or lots of sauces to make it taste good, that's usually a trick restaurants use to cover up mediocre quality/older fish. good, fresh fish is best with minimal seasoning. but we're all entitled to our own opinions i suppose.

At the risk of sounding like a teen aged girl, OH. MY. GAWD! Tempura inside a burrito sounds insanely delicious.


Not sure how I'd feel about a fuzzy taco though.

Snagged one of these for $10 last night. By the time I came to share the price, it had already gone back up.
