Simplex were good,
What is the issue with a freewheel?
-
They're kinda old and obsolete so mostly cheapo stuff, but I've worked on plenty of decades old ones that are still going well. If the internals are failing before you're wearing the teeth then I'd guess you're getting too much water in them, they're not particularly well sealed but riding in the rain shouldn't kill them in 6 months. Do you clean your bike a lot?

If you say so.
Also if anyone knows of a BOMBPROOF INDESTRUCTABLE 5 speed Freewheel, please do let me know.
