Well, here is a synopsis of the mail I received regarding ultra- vs. normal- spaced freewheels. Votes ran 2-1 against the ultra (however, the sample size was only 6). Some common themes that I observed in the replies: - If you do use ultra- freewheels, a Sedisport chain is a MUST. - If you use normal freewheels, Uniglide chains make shifting easier; especially when combined with Shimano's twist-tooth freewheel cogs. (On the other hand, I have heard from other sources that the bowed-out side plates on UG chains will cause the chain to stretch out much faster than a normal chain.) - The Shimano DeOre XT rear derailleur was highly recommended for coping with difficult shifting situations.
