As for the freewheel, I do ride in the rain quite a bit and I haven't been terribly impressed with how the shimano freewheels hold up after a few months in the weather. Is there a better option without jumping all the way up to the Eno?
What don't you like about the shimano freewheel? Are the pawls not engaging properly? If that's the case, maybe it's a defective freewheel. I've been using shimano freewheels for years on nasty/wet weather ss rides and for year round commuting through dirty nyc streets. It's been fine for me. Your probably not going to find a better freewheel for around $20.
