Review
Within one month I had gone through two of the little buggers. Fair play though, i'm 90kgs, but my riding style isn't to blame. They seemed to come apart on there own whilst riding. I'm not too sure why but in my opinion it should last much longer than that.
If you are a heavier bloke like myself I recommend at least an ACS Claw which is what i'm running at the moment without hassels.

Review
This freewheel is one of the worst I've ever used.
It takes a very long time until the freewheel engages because it has only 18 engagement points. The freewheel has 2 little weak pawls, which wear out very fast. After a period of 4 or 5 months I had to replace the freewheel because it began to skip repeated.
The freewheel has no seals so you have to decompose and grease it after every ride in muddy conditiones.

My advice:
get an ACS Claws or White Industries Eno!!!

Review
Its too unfit for trials..The engagements are not in order, two pawls, Thin Shell and Easily losen..The engagement is bad and sometimes the freewheel will rub against your BB then it will Losen and all your bearings drop out and thats it...( TRY IT ) After using ACS and White industries, You will not be able to gap far on this freewheel..More on beginner budget standard..:)
