Sunrace freewheels are better than most taiwan freewheels. Shimano does make some low end freewheels- tourney level, which will be better than Sunrace. Their closest range is 13 or 14t to 28t in 5/6/7 speed.

If you are looking to ebay for dura ace freewheels, you should also consider Sachs freewheels- they are newer and the same or better quality than dura ace .

Rivendell sells Sunrace FW's or did, so Grant obviously thinks the quality is acceptable. I've bought a few Nashbar FW's and they look good, quite possibly made by Sunrace. Haven't put much mileage on them, so I can't say how they hold up. But if you want an FW with a particular cog range, it is getting increasingly difficult to be too picky about the brand.

Ideally, I'd like a Dura-Ace 13-26 or 13-24. If I can't find one (how often do they come up on eBay?), are Nashbar and Sunrace freewheels (13-24 both) of good quality? Are they greatly inferior to Shimano and Suntour?

Thanks in advance.
