When you went looking for a freewheel in recent times, 99% of them were 14-28T.
In olden times 14-32T were more common and thus only remaindered stock in the 5 speed variety, seems available in this gear range today.
I know there new freewheels just apearing in this size.
My question is why were freewheels in this larger size available BITD but not available untill recently ?
Did low gearing go out of fashion or did some other technological leap make them pointless and if so why are freewheels that mimic cassettes making a comeback as 13-32T 9 speed freewheels now exist :?
