Perfect Fit on Shimano
This gear was easy to install with the right tool. Just unscrew the old one with the special tool, screw on the new one, plus you need to add some space on your axel bolt to accomodate its extra width. Just need to dissassemble the axel and bearing bolt, slide it over and then re-install. Once on, just adjust your gearing dereailure, and it works great. The big gear cog really works great on those big hills. the little gear cog is a nice touch too.

What can you say it works good
I have bought 2 of these. One is on a bike that I'm building that I pulled out of a trash Heap. And the other ones on my e-bike. On my e-bike while I was riding if I had to put a little pressure onto the chain it would skip and not just sucks if you know what I mean the click clicking noise well anyway I got a flat and while I was putting on a new tire and inner tube I decided to add the new sprocket. What a difference it makes no slipping or clicking just smooth riding I need to take the time to adjust the derailleur to make it perfect but it's good enough right now. This bracket works like a dream smooth and a lot quieter for some reason than my last sprocket. Definitely worth the money and I'll probably be buying another one

Ebike replacement
Removed the OG that came with my ebike because it was making a bearing like noise and replaced with this freewheel. Works awesome!! Smooth and quiet!!

8 SP 13-32T Is A WINNER
Make sure you have the correct freewheel removal socket before ordering this freewheel. This freewheel(sprocket cluster) screws onto a threaded hub, as opposed to a cassette(sprocket cluster) that fits onto a splined projection of a freehub. The 13-32 teeth 8 speed version is a standout, since Shimano doesn't seem to make one. Not quite as smoothly machined and crisp as Shimano, the other models do not have a low enough price to choose them over the Shimano equivalent. The ratchet is louder than any of my Shimano freewheel(sprocket clusters). That is not a criticism, necessarily, but could indicate Hycline doesn't put as much effort into selecting proper ratchet springs as their competitors. As an aside, I have a spare wheelset with an 8 speed cassette freehub(sprocket cluster), which is not interchangable with this Hycline-equipped 8 speed freewheel(sprocket cluster) without radical derailleur adjustment. It is not 'plug and play' for swapping out. I have not figured out the incompatibility, yet. I will reserve that spare wheelset for another bike with the same cassette freehub. Maybe just leave a set of studded tires on them indefinitely. I have yet another old thread-on Italian wheelset I will equip with another of these Hycline freewheels(sprocket clusters) so as to have a spare wheelset for both bikes. Both will be 'plug and play' wheelset swaps.I put this Hycline on an older Lombardo(Italian) steel frame commuter with a single 42 teeth chainring, which doesn't give me the low gear(s) I need. I was unwilling to consider replacing the crankset which has a proprietary unitized steel chainring/crankset, but desperately wanted a lower gear. That heavy bike was awful as a 14-28t 6 speed, but this Hycline thread-on 8 sp has a 32t cog/sprocket, which provides an additional lower gear.I was absolutely thrilled to find this product!My Tourney derailleur was only rated for 30t, so I bought an Altus derailleur, 8 sp Shimano trigger shifter, and a narrow 8 speed chain to complete the conversion.Of course, I have all new components, but as an 8 speed, the bike seems to shift more smoothly than it ever did as a 6 speed. Durability to be determined. I have about 75 bucks and some time in the project. I already had the socket and chain wrench. Was it worth it for a 32t cog?(I will never go fast enough to use the 13t) Yes!This older guy can now climb modest hills with a 42 tooth chainring. Not so old so as to not be embarrassed at being forced to walk my bike up a hill. This 8 speed freewheel(sprocket cluster) should work on any old style threaded(freewheel) hub whether 6 or 7 speed(with a new correct chain and capable derailleur) without re-dishing the wheel. I don't know about 5 speeds because my vintage Schwinn 5 speed will remain original. Freewheels have few options, it was either this Hycline 13-32 8 sp or a Shimano 7 sp Megarange(13-34), but those jump from 26t to 34t, which I didn't care for. I would gain the 34t, but lose the 28t. I am glad I went with the gradual steps of the Hycline, which is more in character for a vintage Italian commuter bike. Maybe I can get up a big enough hill with the 32t to descend with the 13t.

Replacement freewheel functions as expected
This 13-32T 8 speed freewheel replaced a generic OEM freewheel on my Wallke X3 Pro at ~4K miles; I also replaced the OEM KMC Z8.3 chain with a KMC E10 chain. Once the derailleur was properly adjusted, shifting is crisp, smooth, and accurate, and clearly superior to the original freewheel/chain combination; whether the improvement is due to the new freewheel, chain, or derailleur adjustment I can’t state for certain, but after a few hundred miles, I’m very pleased so far. Only time will tell re durability, but if this freewheel lasts ~4K or more, it will be an excellent value. Installation was a breeze—just be certain to clean the hub threads and apply a bit of Park lubricant before installing. The bearings and ratchet mechanism are reasonably quiet; the cogs are prelubricated, but I applied plenty of dry lube to the freewheel and chain anyway. Overall—so far, so good.

Perfect
Well machined, detailed, and assembled properly. Went right on the bike replacing the factory defective one. Inexpensive but quality. Excellent! (Cured the phantom knock that suddenly appeared after less than 3 months use)

I'm skeptical of the quality
Love that it's black but not so sure it's good quality. Sounds way worse than an old suntour freewheel, that's for sure.

Works as described
My wife bought me an ebike conversion kit for Christmas, unfortunately she knows nothing about bikes. The system my cycle used was a cassette so this was the first purchase. Was exactly the same size as the 9 speed cassette I had been using so with a few modifications bike was up and running. Not actually taken on a long ride yet so don't know how it will stand up to the 25mile round trip to work but if there are any problems I will update review.
