[INDENT]Here's why
****This freewheel is one of the very few TRUE STRAIGHT BLOCKS in existence. ****Shifting is only required once every 1500 to 4000 miles, when a cog wears out. (If you replace your chain regularly, you'll get closer to the high end of this since stretched chains wear cogs very, very quickly.)
*This particular model also has the very rare gold indicator cogs:**** when having to shift so infrequently it is*** easy to forget when nearing the end of the cogset's life;- if you should glance back whilst riding and notice you are on one of the gold cogs, it means that you are nearing the time for a rebuild and should procure a new set of cogs before the end of the riding season.
