replacing rear wheel on haro backtrail x1

[slowpete]

picked up a 2003 haro backtrail x1 for cheap off craiglist last week. i mostly mountain bike but like screwing around on a bmx from time to time. anyway, rear wheel is shot, and i need to replace it with something cheap.

would http://www.danscomp.com/402090.php?cat=PARTS that work? i'm guessing the axle size is pretty much standard anymore?

thanks for any help :D

No No No!
Look at some Odyssey, or even Primo wheels.

the eastern wheels arent that bad if youre gonna just be knocking around once in a while. just make sure that you have the correct gear ratio on there.

no its an unsealed cassette, they blow up so fast, unsealed bearings arent made to take the stress a driver that small has on it. Especially if the person riding it is just a beginner hack and is not smooth.

i gotcha. maybe i'll look into something a bit more high end then

or just look for a nicer wheel on craigslist or ebay. or in clearance sections on some web shops.
