3. Some bikes come with solid axles and freehubs, so make sure it's freewheel and not freehub.
I just went out to re measure with a micrometer I bought and it seems the dropout of the frame is 180mm. And sorry it's a diamondback El Oso gordo. And yes it's a freewheel I want to switch to cassette for more options on gearing. So my question is if I buy a 180mm x10mm QR will it bolt right up to the bike I have? Thanks for your response.
It won't let me post pictures yet I'm new here.
