Great gear mod for any casual bike.
The 1st gear is a little far from the 2nd but I don't plan on using it that much, from what I have climbed with it I've had no problems with 5-6% grade and it shifts onto the big gear no issues. The 13 tooth high gear is a perfect match for my urban bike where I was spinning out the original 14 tooth way too much. If you want warp speed you might go with a 12 but this was right where I wanted it, maxed out at 38kph so far while pedaling on level pavement.Like I mentioned, for me the only flaw is the jump from 1st to 2nd, I wish they made it a little less aggressive but other than that after a few weeks I'm very happy with it.

Good product - very happy with the performance
Installed on an 80s Motobecane Grand Touring. It had a 6-speed, and it looked like a 7-speed would fit. I had a vintage set of 7-speed index stem shifters that I wanted to install on this bike. I didn't even have to adjust the position of the cones - I just adjusted the derailleur and it worked perfectly. I can't guarantee that will work in your case, just a pleasant surprise in mine. It shifts very smooth (comparable to a Hyperglide), even in the jump to the 32 from the 24, using a Shimano Tourney long cage RD. The shifters are Suntour and the pull ratio matches, so all is good. Now it's time to rack up some miles and see how it lasts.

Nice granny gear, but had an aukward jump between low gears.
The gearing was an upgrade from my stock freewheel I had on my Mongoose Hitch. The freewheel was smooth, and shifting was perfect using click shifters. The bike’s stock derailier had no issues with clearance.The only thing I didn’t like was the big jump between the lowest gear and the rest. Seems I was always looking for another gear between the two. I eventually switched to an 8-speed freewheel, and the gearing was what I was looking for.Overall, the quality was very good, I just needed to be more aware of what gearing I needed. At the low price, if you need to switch through a few headsets (unlike a cassette, you can’t custom load the gears for your preference) to get the right fit for your needs. Well worth the cost for a 7 speed bike. If using grip shifters, ditch those in favor of click shifters. You will thank me for this!

Lovelier the 2nd time around
First time I bought (and returned) this, it had loose bearings and made knocking noises.A year later I tried another since I prefer 13-28 to 14-28, plus the #1 and #2 sprockets are better anchored than the current Shimano freewheels.This time the free play is just right.I'd give it 5 stars if the QC were better.

Looks great and ratios work well.
32 teeth works great my low gear is about perfect now. My ebike will torque this on pretty tight so hope it lasts the 34 tooth I had was pretty tough to get off.

Smooth and quiet
My freewheel had been slipping and got to the point where it was occasionally catching and slipping most of the time, so I got this guy as a replacement. This was the best move I could have made. Not only did this function properly, but it was way quieter (almost no noise at all), it has reduced fatigue when climbing, and now my gears switch more cleanly. I will admit that the bike was purchased at Wal-Mart, so I wasn't working with the best of products to begin with, but man, what a difference.

so far, smooth gearing
chain tracks well, nice ratio of gears, so far only a few occasions of slipping between the gears

Not for E bike
1500w and very steep trails in Colorado. Maybe six beat the crap out of it rides on it and the 32t bent. Replaced it with an 11/28 from the same manufacturer.Good quality products, has its limits.
