Hi all. I've been popping too many spokes on my rear wheel to feel confident in it for this upcoming winter's commute. After pulling the wheel off and putting a couple hours into inspecting and truing the wheel, I've decided to just replace it. It's seen enough mileage and a few winters so it's pretty corroded.
So, after some research, I've decided on this wheelset and a spacer so I can continue to use my current 7-speed cassette, but I want to make sure that what I'm buying will actually work with my bike and that I didn't miss anything important. The best I can tell, the rims are 20mm interior width, which is what I want, but that info is actually from this page for the Alex y2000 rims (http://www.alexrims.com/product_detail.asp?btn=7&cat=6&id=116) so I'm not sure.

Spacer (http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/CS704Z00-Cassette+Spacer.aspx)
EDIT: Turns out it was actually not a cassette but a freewheel/freehub. FYI :)
