Great replacement freewheel for an MF-TZ500
Make sure to get the correct 7 speed freewheel for your bike, either a 14-28t or 14-34t. In my case I needed both to fix two different bikes. Both freewheels were super easy to install. To remove the old freewheel, you'll need a Park Tools FR-1.3 tool. A chain whip is not needed, the freewheel self-tightens as you ride the bike. This fixed the chain-jumping issue I had on both bikes when I replaced the chain with a KMC X8 chain (you can use an 8 speed chain on a 7 speed bike with no issues).Read full review

Nice indeed!
This freewheel performs exactly as I expected it to even down to the dramatic torque change from the inner gear to the second gear though it still takes me by surprise from time to time. I ride a Schwinn Sidewinder with a steel frame and periodically tow a heavily loaded trailer along with panniers on the rear rack which is why I ordered this particular freewheel. Completely satisfied and would highly recommend this product for any road bike used for heavy hauling, especially in hilly areas.Read full review
Comes Complete with Spoke Protector
This is about the best Shimano freewheel I have owned to date considering what I use it for. It comes with a built in spoke protector that is very resourceful. Shifting is smooth and precise. I like it and would recommend this to Shimano product users. Installation is A to B.Read full review

More useful gearing
The lower gearing -34t vs 28t is just what I needed for a more comfortable trail ride on my fat-tire bike.
Brand new, Nice Deal...
