Someone should resurrect the Zeus freewheel. All the splined cogs are interchangeable, no spacers required, and the final cog is threaded on to hold them all in place. The body is both notched and splined to accept either the traditional two-prong Regina typer remover or the splined Regina/Atom/Phil/Zeus remover. A nice versatile design, IMO.
