i think that there is one additional consideration: If you ever want indexed shifting, better get a cassette hub. That is not to say you SHOULD ever want index shifting on that bike or that you will ever NEED it. You won't find an 8 speed freewheel, nor will you find 7 speed indexed bar end shifters, at least not easily.
If you are fine with friction, I say go for the Phils and get a 7 speed freewheel. Ginz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
