Halo Clickster freewheel - good? bad?
Anyone have any experience with these? Looking for some opinions from people who have ridden one. A White Industries is only $20 more so I'm not sure it's worth it to get the Halo.
Thanks

I saw those on Amazon for $50, looks pretty interesting. I haven't found any reviews in my search.
I did find this Echo freewheel (108 points of engagement) for $60 on ebay -- http://tinyurl.com/6nmnw6u
The Echo brand seems popular with trials riders, but I have no first-hand experience with either. The GT Ratchet freewheel also comes up as a good one with 120 points of engagement, but I can't find one in 18t.

FWIW, I just got the Echo freewheel in the mail today. The 108 points is cool but I was surprised at the amount of side-to-side play/wobble in the freewheel. Tolerances didn't seem to be as good as my cheap ACS Crossfire.
I'm sure it will hold up fine for the type of riding I do -- just surprised at the wobble for a trials fw.

Thanks everybody 
I haven't picked one up yet but I'm leaning towards the GT or a White Ind. The talk about the play in the Echo worries me a little. I have a nice Shimano on there now but there aren't enough engagement points for me. I'll give a little review of the GT if I get one
