What is the difference between the freewheels?

[Biker2772]

So I need to by a freewheel for my bike.

They both have the same spec but I wanted to know the difference between the two. One of them is more expensive than the other.

The MF-TZ500 has slightly better ball bearings in it than the MF-TZ20 .....
Hence the increase in price.
And that's probably the best answer there is, without doing a full strip down forensic test of each cassette
Plus, Why would the same manufacturer sell two almost identical items at the same price ??
The better quality one is almost always more expensive.

Luck ...........

6 speed freewheel, blimey, had them in the 70's . What have you got at the moment?

Both are good but pricey due to being Shimano, you should be able to get one for around half that.
Don't buy in Amazon, everything is overpriced.

Sunrace have a good price point....

Change your chain at the same time, unless the current chain has less than 500km on it.

I have the shimano MF TZ20 but will change it to MF TZ500 since the old one needs replacing.

I just looked at the reviews for both freewheels, and they both get good reviews. The more expensive one doesn't get any better reviews than the cheaper one. So why pay more?
