On the subject of freewheels, does anyone use white industries? Currently running a shimano mx30 and the incessant 'ticking' is driving me insane. It's got steadily worse over the last six months.
I'm intrigued by the W.I. dual (17t & 19t) freewheel as currently running 33x18 which is good but sometimes fancy a few more gear inches, sometimes, admittedly, less.
I do have reservations however as I think the idea is to run two chainrings so that the axle position remains constant and the disc brake pads do not need to be adjusted. So my question; do you reckon swapping between the 17t and 19t cogs (with single chainring) would cause a large enough difference to warrant adjustment each time?
