Oh too true. . . Also Suntour invented the "Ultra" spaced freewheels I think. The whole idea was to add an extra cog without widening the overall width of the FW. I'd have to pull down my copy of "The Dancing Chain" to be sure but I'm already late for dinner. Enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives

PS: If anyone needs Suntour alloy cogs try contacting The Bikesmith in Seattle. When Suntour went under in the US one of their old employees brought in a huge stash of the cogs. I'm sure Val has some left in a box on a shelf in the back. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives North of LA, South of SLO
