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.

Yes, that is how my bike is set up. Fixed cog on right, free wheel on left, or vice versa, depending on how you want to ride. Good luck

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

Check this link, which depicts a compatible freewheel: Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheel

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.

I do believe your present bike is also a 7 speed as is the freewheel your giving thought to purchasing. A special tool is needed to remove the current freewheel from your wheel. Best option, take your wheel and your new gears (freewheel) to a bike shop. They'll swap them out for a few bucks. Check the chain length after you replace the wheel. That freewheel is a good. I bought one myself. Ride safe. Have fun !

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.

I have the coaster brake version and the freewheel version on two different bikes. Not sure about the fixie.

I assume you actually mean between the cranks and flywheel since all pedals spin freely. The answer is no, it does not "freewheel." That's how all spin bikes work and that's what makes them different from an old-school "exercise" bike. It's a direct connection from the crank sprocket to the flywheel via the chain and there is no freewheel on the flywheel &#128522;

It work great on either type of bike.You have to consider your personal setup as always.

Definitely yes. The bike on which I use this freewheel has friction shifters.

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

If you have some type of frame probably no problem....as you raise bike Make sure balance is stable. Good luck , I really like mine(heavy, FXDL).

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

I am not an expert on bike assembly, but I think none of these handy tools would be good for all aspects of it. I read the pedal wrench is weak. I like the unit for tightening things and attaching accessories like cyclometers, bells, and others where a screwdriver or Allen Wrench is required.

Recommend buy the spokes, (freewheel remover & rim , asneeded) and build yourself. It is not that hard and there are a few good books that explain the various techniques.For the cost of a handful of spokes and about 2 hours work you will not only have a good wheel, but also the experience and understanding for keeping wheels round and true; which all regular riders should have.The Bike Buff

You would need an appropriate wrench as it does not have the quick release spindle. I purchased one for about $20 from a local bike shop.
