Yes, the wheel was trued when arrived. Yes, that freewheel will fit. Depending on the width of your rear triangle, you may have to add a spacer or two.

It is good to go out of the box. Double check your wheels for true - they will last longer if your get them right in the beginning. Install the freehub cassette and you are on your way. Freewheels spin on / feehub cassettes stack on. Freehubs will be limited to certain sizes, whereas you can put any freewheel on a typical freewheel configured wheel hub. It is best to match up visually what your free hub looks like at least if not by manufacturer type. Assuming you have the same chain compatibility since your are going with a whole new wheel if your go from a 7 speed to a 7speed (apples t apples) you will find everything will match up ok. Not all freehubs are built the same and some mount differently on different wheels. You are buying both wheel and freehub so you won't have to worry about compatibility issues such as when you order a replacement freehub for a wheel you are trying to repair.

No its not it uses a quick release axle and fits a standard fork. I have these wheels on my Cannondale Rize 4. I am thinking about getting a second set and changing the hub out for a 20mm thru axle because i just bought another bike. The change would not be that hard to do and is worth it to me because these are extremely nice wheels.

Hi,I'd go to Blackburn's website to get the most accurate information. Also, I had to convert to a quick release on my rear wheel (for me it was easier than I thought).

All machine built wheels are close to true when shipped, however depending on what your personal preferences are, you may wish to tweak it a bit before installing. Shipping can also make the wheel come out of true a bit. The freewheel threads on the the hub will accept modern Shimano freewheels and with the axle spacing you can have a 5 speed, a speed or a 7 speed.

The wheel did not come with a rear sprocket, on the one that I bought....I added a single speed freewheel for my bike.

I can't completely answer your question. I have a Tiagra derailleur and I must say it took some time to adjust so that the 28 didn't hit the derailleur. But after some adjusting, I'm very happy with the performance.

The wheels I got accepted only mountain bike style cassettes. Not sure what you have there. Mine is a 7 speed.

I've used 15 speed (5 cogs) and 18 speed (6 cogs) free wheels and not cassettes on this wheel. I really don't know how your 6 speed (or does the cassette have 6 cogs) cassette would work. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Years ago I had a 5 speed and upgraded to a 7 speed. The new freewheel should screw on no problem. Although....... The rear wheel will most likely need yo be "re-dished". Meaning....... The rear hub will need to be shifted on the axle to the left to accommodate the additional gears. That will offset the rim and will not be "centered". It will then need to be centered. 'Re-dished". You might need a new chain, depending whether you present chain is long enough. New chain ? About $10.00. The re-dish might run $15.00 to $20.00. This will be needed to be dona at a bike shop. My suggestion..... 1. Call a bike shop first and explain what you want to do. They will be familiar with the situation. 2. You will also need a special tool to remove the old freewheel. The bike shop will have it will make the swap when you bring them you wheel and new freewheel. Call the shop before the purchase. The freewheel is a great price. Two extra gears will be nice. I would certainly do it. Good luck. Enjoy the ride !

No. I believe you need to buy Shimano. Or ones compatible with shimano. These are only SRAM

Dear Juice: There are two systems. One is the older-style freewheel where the cog unit goes screwed on the hub of the rear wheel. This Shimano Tourney is one of those screw-on cogs. The newer system is where the cog unit -called a cassette- goes pushed and then locked on a splined extension of the hub. Both systems are not compatible. My advise is get a bike mechanic or a friend who knows the difference between the two systems have a look at your bike and tell you which system it has before you spend the money :-) Hope this helps, Andy :-)

No, you would have to buy a BMX freewheel - most likely one with a 1.37" x 24 thread, but could also be a 30mm.

You have to change the hub out to accept a cassette. Freewheels only thread on up to 7 speed. I'm pretty sure about that but your local bike shop will know for sure

If your documentation says to use Shimano tool TL-LR15, this should work fine. Note that there's some indication on the forums of quality issues some time ago (3 years I think) where the tolerances weren't very good. No guarantee that there isn't bad stock floating out there -- don't be shy about returning it if you get a bad one.

It is for a threaded freewheel, old style. You can get them new for like 15$ at a bike shop. Not sure if the new style screws on? Mine was for a replacement on an 81 Miyata.
