Thanks for the tip!
What's a ducket? Money?

There is WAY more selection of and demand for 700C tires, so that you can get basic knobbies for only $10-15 each. So maybe someday you'll want to upgrade

I'd try Nashbar for 6 or 7 speed freewheels. They're real cheap there, $15, and they shift well in my experience. Also, keep in mind, you might want a wider gear range for the wheels that will be used off-road...
