Are you saying that these freewheels can be disassembled? I think that would justify selling price, as the current sunrace freewheels are held together with ?450 newtons? and cannot be disassembled by hand.

A new-production frewheel with changeable cogs that is _not_ ShimaNO would be a great asset for restoring classic bikes.
