My stash has run dry

Where are we getting decent 7spd and 8spd freewheels from nowadays?

Shimano 7s are fine really. Although sometimes you can only get the stupid ones with the larger gap between 1&2 to fit some advertising slogan imo. But a yearly drop of oil and they'll do 1000s of miles.
8 speed freewheel is surely the work of the devil.
All that axle hanging out of the wheel bearing, begging for trouble. It's why we got the freehub.
Usually the 8 speed freewheel was fitted to cheap bikes to make them 24speed so punters who had been told a 24 speed bike was better than 21, (because it should have a cassette drivetrain) could be fleeced by the likes of halfords, who used to occupy the space now taken by amazon - selling tomorrow's rubbish.
Consequently most 8sp fws are/were rubbish.
Sachs used to make a good one though.
