is there a good freewheel that goes with this? or will it depend on the bike?

The freewheel you need depends on what wheel you have. The freewheel doesn't generally need to be replaced with the cassette.

Freewheels and cassettes are two different and non-compatible gear clusters for the rear hub of derailer bicycles. If you are buying a new gear cluster and are presently using a 7 speed cassette, best to buy a direct replacement cassette gear cluster. If you bought a cassette and found out your hub was older and used freewheels then those are also available. Go to the Sheldon Brown website for a more complete description of both gear systems.

A 'freewheel' gear cluster is self contained & threads directly onto the threaded hub. Your rear hub type determines if you use either 1) Threaded Freewheel or 2) Cassette Cluster (which this one is...), that fits a splined rotating & ratcheting hub called a 'Freehub'. It can be confusing for a novice. Note that the 'Freewheel' is the older type, & found widely on cheaper or older bikes. Newer bikes or higher end bikes almost always have a Cassette / Freehub type layout. Hope this helps !

Just to be clear: The HG50 -7 cassette is used on a free hub. A free wheel would use some thing like a Shimano MF-HG37 sprocket set. These parts and the tools used are not interchangable.

that's right, this adapter is made to be installed on a shimano cassette also known as a freehub. it's not a freewheel.

I would suggest to get a name brand one. I just use this for bmx and dirt jump style bikes and it is pretty wimpy and doesn't hold very well. the parts aren't very strong. hope this helps you out with your purchase.

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be more cle,

The only connection is to the hub. If your bike has a fairly typical rear wheel quick release hub, it should be fine.

That's what I did on my Schwinn road bike. I used this freewheel and it worked great. There was plenty of room on mine.

This goes inside the rear axle of your bike. It's the Quick release part of the rear wheele. Your bike should come with one, but the Kurt Kinetic also has one in the box!

No you need a FreeWheel type sprocket 6,7,or 8 speed available here http://www.amazon.com/sprocket-bicycle-chain-complete-accessories/forum/Fx3UFVVOO3Q29FB/Tx2DIFYOFGFJTR6/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B000AO9KUC&cdEmailView;=8b290b24-c1b7-4323-9388-0ac7910c1df6.Tx2DIFYOFGFJTR6&cdShowAnswer;=1&forceSignin;=1

My bike has the quick release clamp. I think a clamp with a carriage bolt and nut will work.

There are a couple of posibilities here. If you are trying to use your own freewheel, then it is possible that it is binding on the really big axle in this wheel assembly. Modern Shimano freewheels work, but I know that I have some freewheel tools that are smaller in diameter than the axle is. It depends on what brand of freewheel you have. If you are using the freewheel that came with the wheel, then it is quite likely a bad freewheel. I didn't use the freewheel that came on mine, but I later tried to use it on another bicycle. Two of the six gears quickly failed so that they spin freely in both directions. My advice is to use your old freewheel if you can. The one that came with the wheel is low quality.

Mr. A,Unfortunately i do not have any experience with anything other than quick release on this machine (and on any of my bikes..U lock through rear wheel/frame).It does come with a quick release skewer which should take a minute or two to install.Sorry i can't be more help.

Yes, this is a screw on type sprocket for an older bike--if you have a newer model you will need a cassette not a freewheel, also note you will need a Parks tool to remove and install a freewheel sprocket.

None! If the rim is new and has no freewheel installed, a new freewheel spins right onto the threaded hub. One DOES need a special tool to get a freewheel OFF the hub, however.

Topeak also makes a rack that fastens in the pre-threaded holes on the bike frame near the rear wheel hub. Reply back if you have any questions and I'll get you a link to the other type of rack

I do not have a traditional bike, I think this is best with a bike that has a normal wheelbase length. Good Luck!

Any quick release 20" trailer wheel should work. Right now there's one on Amazon from Sunlite; it might not match your original silver wheel but it would (hopefully) do the job.
