I had one of the bad Classica freewheels. IRD told me to go back to the dealer, the dealer told me it was clearance... I don't remember what I did... I got a different freewheel, but the spacing was off on this one as well- it didn't matter because I switched back to friction shifters on that bike.

For the $80 or whatever it was, I could have gotten 5 Shimanos or Sunraces. Or just not spent $80 on something that should have cost less than $20.

After I got the IRD Drillium levers, I saw the "ZST" levers on some Chinese site for $10 a set... while the IRD levers were drilled- that's a hella markup- especially for a company that apparently just rebrands existing stuff.
