I've used both shimano and dicta freewheels on my front freewheeling chain ring setup, and neither lasted very long. They weren't really meant to be used in this manner with the type of side loads you end up inducing on them. I'm not sure the white industries will be able to handle it either, but feedback from others on here make them sound fairly robust. It's $15 compared to $80 for the white industries. So will the white industries last 5.3 times as long as the shimano? Who knows? All I know is I have to redesign my system if I need to replace the freewheel after every 20-25 miles. Also the white industries one has a replaceable sealed cartridge bearing, but I don't know how much those cost.
