Cheap ass Single speed
Hey Im looking to convert an old Schwinn 10 speed to a single speed. My plan was to replace the casett with a single cog and put spacers but the kits I found are made for shimano freewheels, which I dont have 
. so I cleaned of some grease to see what I had. Its a "SUNTOUR prefect" on a quando hub and Im wondering if there is anyway i can get a single cog-wheel on there.
here is a picture of the stuff.
Thanks for the help

an old 10 speed will be using a freewheel, not a cassette, so you'll have to unthread it and find a SS freewheel to fit
I don't know anythin about threadings

That's a freewheel in the picture. The kits are for cassette systems.
You can remove the Suntour freewheel, and a single-speed freewheel will thread on in its place. You'll have to respace the axle and re-dish the wheel, however.
