I seem to recall a SunTour freewheel with 38 teeth, but 34 was certainly more common. Freewheels with as many as eight sprockets are still available, but in my experience, anything over seven sprockets unacceptably increases the risk of axle breakage. If you really need more than seven sprockets, use a freehub-based wheel.
