Been thinking alot about this, as I am building a ss off roader.
1) Buy nice expensive hub and screw-on free wheel. If the freewheel mechanism goes just buy a new one. If your feeling rich get a White ind with lots of engagments.
2) Buy nice expensive free-hub (Hope Pro II SS/Trials). Chop and change sprockets at will. The internal ratchet/pawl drive is unlikely to fail anyhow, and has lots of engagments.
I'm pretty much 100% sold on option 2.
Any thoughts?
