Yes, no one but you knows what they're talking about, tell it to someone who cares. Considering one of the easiest repairs for crusty freewheels that just wouldn't freewheel anymore was tossing a 7sp freewheel on a 6sp bike and moving on I'm sure I'm wrong and could care less what you have to say. OP, it costs you nothing to try it, have fun.
