I am under the impression that all these great wheelsets for sale are not compatiable with my 6spd rear freewheel hub; am I wrong? Sorry I am kind of a newb about bikes and what is compatible with what. I know I have Shimano 105 components, but it's a 12 spd bike, and my rear gears are 6 cogs, and these supposedly won't work on a more modern shimano 'free hub'. So all new wheels I see are either flip-flop fixed/freewheel, or they are newer shimano Freehubs. I don't see any new wheels for sale compatible with the gearset that I have currently.
