replacing rear wheel on haro backtrail x1
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 https://www.danscomp.com/402090.php?cat=PARTS that work? i'm guessing the axle size is pretty much standard anymore?
thanks for any help

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.
