Are the SunRace 7 and 8 speed freewheels chromed, zinc plated or other? Hard to tell from most retailer descriptions.

Thanks for checking. I see SunRace clarifies this on their website, but most retailers don't specify which versions they have -- chromed, zinc or carbon steel. I've use a SunRace chromed 7-speed 13-25 freewheel for about a year and it works fine, stays clean (I mostly use paraffin/wax on chains) and cleans up easily compared with black freewheels.
