OK, what's SOOooo spechul about 600EX freewheels ? (dare I ask ?)
Why not a "regular" Regina ? Isn't cog to cog spacing standard,
or does clickety click shift demand it's own spacing ?

Yeah the whole SIS system works together, Shifter, Freewheel, and Rear Der.
Can't just use and freewheel.
The good news is that Colorado Cycle has them for $20.00, Stock up
while you can.

| 672.3 | "Good" news would be to go regular for real cheap.... | MENTOR::REG | May Be ('til June 1st) | Tue May 17 1988 16:21 | 7 |
| re .2 I can see why the shifter and rear derailleur have to
match, indexing detents etc., but I still can't see why you can't
put a std clutter on there.

| 672.4 | just an observation | RANGLY::PFISTER_ROB | Bike hard, or sell it | Wed May 18 1988 12:28 | 9 |
| I dont know the EXACT reason why Shimano SIS demands it's own freewheel,
but if you look at the teeth on the Shimano freewheel, they seem to be
bent slightly off axis compared to `normal' freewheel....
I only own SIS on my mountain bike on which I have a high turnover rate
on chains, freewheels, and deraillers. (read: nothing has lasted long enough
to really worry about future compatability)

| 672.5 | Article on index shifting | CCYLON::SCHULDT | Larry Schuldt - WA9TAH | Thu May 19 1988 11:16 | 10 |
| A couple months ago Bicycling magazine had a technical article on
indexed shifting. The author measured the cable movement for each
type of indexed shifting (different Shimanos, Suntours, Synchro,
etc.) and plotted this on a graph. Result was to show clearly that
the spacing between gears is not constant. Each manufacturer uses
a different amount of cable movement between gears. However, Shimano
is compatible between different Shimano lines. In other words,
a light action (L series) 6-speed is compatible with Shimano 600
6-speed which is also compatible with Dura-Ace 6 speed. I beleive
that all Shimano 7-speeds were compatible, too.....

| Performance and Nashbar no longer list Non-Hyperglide,
7-speed cogs for Dura-Ace cassette freehubs.
Has Shimano stopped manufacturing them?

| 672.8 | Colorado Cyclist has Dura-Ace 7 -spd FW | ZEKE::SZCZ | | Thu Jul 15 1993 09:10 | 10 |
| Colorado Cyclist (1-800-688-8600) has a Dura-Ace 7-speed Freewheel
listed for $59.99. It does not say whether its Hyperglide or not.
All the cassettes listed are Hyperglide.
I just put a Sachs-Mallaird ARIS 7 speed freewheel on my bike and it
works great. They are advertised to work with most index-shift systems
such as Mavic, SunTour, Shimano, Sachs, and Campy. Nashbar and
Performance carry them as did my local bike shop.

| 672.9 | Cassette, not Freewheel | ODIXIE::RRODRIGUEZ | Shake that grits tree! | Thu Jul 15 1993 11:27 | 11 |
| It's not a freewheel issue; It's a _freehub_ issue. I have
heard that they are not making the Dura-Ace _cassettes_
anymore. That is, for the 7-spd hub.
I asked around a bit more and was reassured that the availability
would be fine for awhile, but I'd have to go retail. Right
now, I'm batting around the idea of buying a couple of cassettes
if I can get my hands on them and just storing them. Maybe I'll
use up hubs begore I run out of cogs.
