It appears that-
You need a Free Wheel Hub.

This looks decent with a good "meat & potatoes" rim/spokes combination.

I would have the spokes properly tensioned and you should have a "relatively bomb proof" set of wheels for normal road riding.

I built a set of wheels this Winter with these rims and DB spokes for my Hybrid and have been very happy with them for cost/performance.
Mine cost about $160-170 for parts, but my Double Butted spokes were $.40 more than straight gauge. (x32 per wheel)
