Bikes: I never learned to ride a bike. It is my deepest shame.

The hardrock was an entry level bike and almost definitely came with a freewheel.

If the rear derailleur is still functioning, there is no need to replace. A derailleur designed for 6 speed should work perfectly with an 8 speed shifter and cassette.
