^few people will still be riding any Suntour stuff these days...I am one of those few. My '93 Breezer has a Suntour drivetrain, 7 speed Accushift. I had to replace the rear wheel and its tough finding good quality thread-on freewheels now, let alone Suntour. I ended up with a used Araya RM20 laced up to a period Shimano Deore XT 7 speed freehub. The Suntour Accushift levers index perfectly on the Shimano cassette, believe it or not.
