About this product
The Shimano Tourney TZ500 freewheel offers a 6-speed configuration with a 14-28 tooth range. This component is part of Shimano's Tourney series, known for entry-level compatibility. Despite the title, the product specifications list it as a 7-speed freewheel. It is an open package item, indicating it may have been removed from its original packaging but is otherwise new. The smallest sprocket is 14 teeth.
Our take
This Shimano Tourney TZ500 freewheel presents a bit of a mixed message, listed as 6-speed in the title but 7-speed in the specs. For the price, it's likely an economical option for a basic bike, though you'll need to confirm the actual speed count. The 14-28T range is fairly standard for recreational riding. Given it's an 'open package' item, expect it might not be pristine retail-ready, but it should function correctly for its intended use on a casual bicycle.
