Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Enhance Your Cycling Performance with the SHIMANO Single Freewheel Sprocket SF-1200 by Quartreal Eagleman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great, Quiet, Smooth, Affordable

If you've converted your bike to a single gear, this is for you. Well you can get the 16, 18 or 20 ton version but you know what I mean. I went for a fairly high ratio of 2,625:1 with a setting of 42/16. It takes me a minute to get going, but I'm going 15 mph without much effort. As some others have mentioned, this free time is QUIET! I think I see a slight wobble, but it's not significant if there is any at all (maybe it's just the power of suggestion), but nothing that would make me question its quality. It's damn smooth and I love it. Warning: You must announce your presence more frequently as pedestrians cannot hear you. Biggest flaw is the stupid tool needed to remove it, but I searched ebay and found an old one for $5. Otherwise, you'll have to shell out $20 for a tool here on Amazon. Your best option is probably to take the wheel and freewheel to your LBS and ask them to borrow the tool for a minute.

Pros
  • Cassettes and Freehubs
