Why are you linking to a track cog if you "need" a freewheel cog?

negative. if you want that wheel you need this and this.

oh wow ty a lot.

No you don't. That wheel is THREADED for a standard cassette, much like the wheel off of an old 10 speed. The link above is for converting a newer FREEHUB from multi to single speed. What you need is this. It will thread right onto that wheel and you will have yourself a singlespeed.

Wrong.

That wheel in post #1 is threaded for a standard FREEWHEEL.

This would be a non-ideal approach to getting a singlespeed. You can't just slap on a freewheel on the wheel in post #1 and expect it to work without chainline issues. If the OP wants to do it properly, he either gets a cassette rear wheel and a singlespeed kit, exactly as depicted in post #3.

Or he gets a flip/flop rear wheel and throws that shimano freewheel on there. So in pictorials you either have:

Okay so I have a 72 schwinn collegiate, 3 speed 27" back wheel, but a guy at a bike shop told me 700c WILL fit on it, so if i want to convert to single speed, easiest and most efficient way to do it would be the guy who said "this and this" in post 3? or could i just get the shimano thing + the wheel i picked out?


please help and thanks a lot to the ones who have helped

so i cant use thison the wheel i found? that looks a lot easier and a lottt cheaper, and i would really prefer to do that. and could someone find a front wheel taht matches the back wheel i found?

Just because the setup he was asking about isn't ideal doesn't make me wrong. I gave him the advice he was asking for , and I was right. He asked what would fit on that wheel and I told him. Also, there's nothing wrong with him doing it the way he wanted to originally. $50 bucks for everything, that's a great way to get started in SS. Plus, chainline is not crucial on a single speed.

pista rider youve been a lot of help man really. im ordering the wheel and hub tonight probably because of you, and i really appreciate your help and hope you are right about it. and yea, 50$ for the whole back wheel is really good compared to 80~ like the other setup. thanks again

No problem. And I meant no disrespect to operator, just wanted to make sure he got what he needed. :thumb:
