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.
