That’s exactly where I am right now. I don’t need “great” shifting, but I am hoping the new microshift RD and shifters will get me to good at least through the summer. I tow 70 lbs of toddler and...

Thanks for posting this, as I was surprised when one of the first responses I got was that Shimano 6-7-8-9 is compatible with Suntour and I just needed an adjustment. I obviously don’t have a lot of...

Thank you, I appreciate your useful response. Sounds like I should send back the one I ordered and get the 'freewheel' one that is set up for a 13T little cog.

Well, they got <$10 out of me for the regular derailleur, so luckily not too much of a victim :)

Here are the two models for what it's worth. They exist for marketing purposes, if nothing else: ...

Freewheel derailleur vs. cassette derailleur?

I'm trying to get a bit more life out of my 1991 3x7 drivetrain. It's currently original Suntour XCE and works fine except at some point someone put on a Shimano freewheel and the shifting is clunky...

I was under the impression that Suntour accushift shifters/DR are not compatible with other brands' freewheels, and since Suntour freewheels are pricey/hard to find, I am just on the casual lookout...

Interesting I haven't seen that proposed much when I was digging around the forum. The consensus seemed to be that Suntour accushift components wouldn't work properly with other freewheels unless I...

I was tracking until this line. I already have a 7 speed freewheel--are you saying that for newer 7 speeds (or alternate brands?) I may still need to re-space?

Converting Suntour freewheel to Shimano-compatible freewheel or cassette?

Hi y'all, I've got a bike with Suntour 7 speed accushift freewheel and x-press shifters. I think I've got my head wrapped around what I would need to do to convert to Shimano shifters/derailleurs...

700s! and I do think it is the size Small frame, so maybe it was just 94-95 that the small frames had 26" tires. I'll post a picture or two after I give it a bath.

The frame fits me, but I'm...

You were spot on with both of these assessments! Amazing you could get that from one grainy photo…I’ve got a lot to learn!
