These cogs have been an industry standard for some 60 years. You pop the retaining ring off with a flat blade screwdriver to change 'em out.

...and dropout design on the Twenty really works better with an even / odd combination. The dropout is short and is angled upwards so there is not a lot of room to play with chain tension... a 17 or 19 would be an easier switch.
If an 18 will give you your most optimum gearing, use a half link.
