Review on ๐Ÿšด DNP Epoch 7spd Freewheel: 11-28 Nickel Plated - Enhanced Cycling Performance! by Mark Dahmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I doubted it, but so far nothing to complain about.

I have two older mountain bikes that I ride. I overhauled one and rebuilt the other; Conversion of both into urban hybrid types. I do most of the miles on the newer one each year (about 250). It has 21 gears and this freewheel is installed. I bought this DNP Epoch freehub to use with some very nice Heavy Duty Wheelmaster 26" wheels I bought a while back Stomping down hills at less than 15 mph makes 10-15% the time spent driving downhill. First of all, I wouldn't miss that much. I keep my gearing/chain properly adjusted (rear derailleurs sometimes fail and cause slippage) and never use airtime or anything else that would unduly stress me or the machine itself (cassettes are best for this arena). Far from a disappointing purchase in the slightest.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
