Original Freewheel Unavailable. Replacement part?
I've got a modest Hyper hybrid bike with 700c wheels and broke the freewheel, but I like it and use it for errands. Can't find the Shimano SunRun 7 speed 14 - 28t freewheel as a part. Can you recommend a replacement that is readily available, not too expensive, and is likely to fit?

Shimano Tourney/TY MF-TZ500 7-Speed Multiple Freewheel, 14-28 Tooth
Okay. I actually saw this. Won't be a problem with a) spacing between cogs and b) fit over hub on a 700c wheel? Am I correct all 7 speed Shimano freewheels have same spec for fit?

Sometimes freewheels can be difficult to remove. They are pretty easily installed.

Keep in mind that Shimano and SunRun are not the same company. So, search for one or the other.
Suggestions above are good.
Most 7-speed freewheels will generally be compatible with each other. However, it is always a good idea to adjust the rear derailleur stops and the rear derailleur indexing when you replace the freewheel.
