Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

will this work?

will this work?

rather than using my original freewheel i was thinking of going with this for my campus singlespeed: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...Name=WDVW&rd=1
my hubs are old suzues and i just changed out all the loose ball bearings. i'm pretty sure it's regular threaded, so would this and some spacers be fine or are there other stuff i'm missing?

It'll work fine, but at that price plus shipping you might as well stroll down to the LBS and get some instant gratification.

Regular old steel washers work well.

When you're at your LBS, ask if they have a hub washer/spacer drawer you can root around in.
