I built a bike for my son and I used this rim with a single gear freewheel. Worked perfectly.

If it's for a full sized fixie bike no, this wheel is like a foot long, I didn't read the description and bought this as a mistake. Won't work for regular bikes!!

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.

yes, you can but you need to secure the construction. Very good product, but a little bit narrow. if you planning to use for 5 mountain bike, I use one front wheel next bike rear wheel and etc.

Wheel hubs, where you attach these, are generally made in two sizes: for 7 cogs or less, or for 8 and up. It probably won't fit. See Sheldon Brown's site for more than you ever wanted to know about bikes.

Yes, you can, resistance changes as you change gears. Be sure to order a block for the front tire so that the bike is level. If you don't the bike will slant down in the front.

Yes, if your bike has disc brakes and a cassette hub (as opposed to a freewheel hub). If you don't know what you have, take the bike to a bike mechanic - he/she will not charge you anything to tell you what you need.

As long as your rear wheel is roughly the size of a ten speed wheel, or mountain bike wheel, you are good. The unit comes with an axle that you can use to ensure proper fitment on the unit. You should be fine with.

Hello, i would think so as it's the wheel it's going on, you'll have to modify something.. I've seen disk brakes on regular bike frames Nashbar is a big supplier and would be able to answer your questions directly. The brakes are great for the price I have them on a specialized big hit comp replacing some very expensive Hayes hydraulics that are not worth the maintenance, the levers are sub par but will work.Hope this helpsTw

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 !

I'm in the same boat. Their listing doesn't indicate that it cannot be attached to a quick release wheel. My brother was trying to install it and what he found was that you would have to take the bike to a bike shop and have it modified for a cost of $50. or more. The quick release problem isn't mentioned until the very last sentence in the installation instructions. Good luck!!

I don't see why you should not . Just keep in mind if the bike has a female frame you may need to buy an attachment bar .

I have not personally tried, but when I was reading reviews before I bought my trainer some other people said that they had set up a standard mountain bike but that 29ers were problematic due to different wheel size. Try the CycleOps webpage and use their Tech support questions line.

You should be able to do it if you put it through one of the wheels. If you want to do it through the body of the bike, it should be a long chain as you need to get it out from the bottom opening.

I cant see any reason why not. You do realize that you do not peddle this bike. You make it go with your feet so probably don't need training wheels

I haven't seen the kit offered without a wheel, which would mean you would be getting basically a hub motor plus a rear gearset. The hub motor is fairly large in diameter, which could mean having to order special length spokes (and possibly thicker spokes) than standard, then fitting them to a wheel of your choice. Unless you are very experienced with spoking and trueing/balancing wheels, it would be a very difficult task.

you can mount a freewheel hub on there. it comes ready to do whatever you want. you would just have to buy a 30 dollar freewheel.

You could but you would have make sure you have the right kind. The bike does not have the usual frame shape so may not compatible with the most common type of training wheels. More importantly, though, this bike is specifically designed to help teach how to ride without training wheels. The kid learns balance first without any pedals, gears or chain in the way. You then add those later (they are included). Hope that helps!
