The dicta's and shimano are ok until it rains, then they're not so good.

Sounds like a lubrication issue. Take it apart and put some decent grease in it.

Well I found it to be much better than a shimano mx, obviously its not up to the hope standards occasional I lay the bike on its side and put a few drops of Muc of wet lube in the gap around the cover this seems to keep it nice and quiet.

Was doing some bike cleaning today and noticed my shimano freewheel is warped. It's only a few months old.. I would say from hard use it's bent a little. Since the chains not falling off it's not a big issue. Think I'm going to get a token freewheel next as white industries is only suitable with a 3/32 chain. SJS sell a token freewheel that is 1/8 compatible.

1/8 chain ring, 1/8 chain and 3/32 rear sprocket will still work.

It would only be a problem if you were trying to wrap a 3/32 chain over a 1/8 freewheel or sprocket.
