Looking for a Good 17t Freewheel
Hey guys,
I've got a pretty basic 17t freewheel on my bike (read: el-cheapo) and I've noticed that it takes about 1/4 turn to engage when I start pedaling again. Could you guys recommend a good 17t freewheel in the $35-85 range maybe that would give me better engagement? I know the White Industries ones are highly regarded, but they're at the very top of my budget and I'd like to maybe find something comparable for a few bucks less.
I'll go White if that's what I need to do as I understand they're quite well-liked.
Thoughts?
Best,
Matthew

I'll probably go with that one if I can't get recommendations for anything else.

Try a Halo Clickster? Def not as good as the WI but better than Shimano etc...

You might also consider the Wabi Deluxe freewheel for about half the cost of the WI >>> Wabi Cycles single speed freewheels
