Is this rear wheel any good?
I think I like it, but I can't find any more info than what you see on that page... and I really can't tell by the way they list it, if it comes assembled or not... any thoughts are appreciated.

Don't know about that model but the cheap shimano coaster hub on my k-mart cruiser took 9 years of abuse before it became unserviceable.

It will come assembled but I'd make sure it was true and the spokes evenly tensioned before I put it on the bike and rode it. Doing so will most definitely help it last longer.
Don't forget to order a rim strip or rim tape.
