Definitely something I'm going to do. I am not planning on buying new rims until next year. I'll wait at least until these new tires wear out. But I was very curious, and in the process of learning about bikes didn't want to wait a whole year to find out if it was possible.



I apologize for my ignorance, but what's the difference between freehub and freewheel? It may sound self-explanatory but I don't understand what that means, even though I've gone and looked up what the "hub" is.



Oh yeah, I won't switch for a good long while, but eventually the meagerness will be an issue. I couldn't ride for a whole sunny week and a half cause I had to wait for my tires to get in. (I didn't realize I just had to adjust the brakes to be able to fit a new wheel on there.)

Sheldon does a great job explaining the differences between a freehub and a freewheel:
