It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm currently fixing up my bike, and I've come to a dilemma. For background, I got a bike at a police auction, but the rims were damaged and had a bulge in both. It's a V-brake system, so it affected braking.

I got a donor bike with better rims, but it used a Sunrace freewheel. Is there a meaningful difference between the Shimano and the Sunrace, other than how the gears attach? Would you recommend going through the effort to swap the hubs?

Compare how the teeth look on yours vs a new one, you can get an actual cassette wear tool but you should be able to see how warn down it is visually.

Feel free to post pics too for second opinions.
