Does anyone know if the Shimano MF-TZ20 Tourney Freewheel (14-28T 6 Speed) is compatible with this wheel? I am looking to swap new 27x1 1/4 wheels on a Raleigh Pursuit I picked up for $15 and it still has the original tires on it and thought it best to update to new hardware. Thanks in advance.

don't buy those wheels they are steel and they do not have enough chrome on them so they have already rusted badly my 30yro frt wheel looks better. the bearings must be reset b4 use as they were so tight the wheel would not turn. as for freewheel cog fit dont know i used 5speed oem.

Ya you should be fine. I have an old schwinn I put it on and its only a 5 speed but it also is only 14-28 teeth and there looks to be plenty of room for an extra gear

If you are asking if the Shimano 6-speed freewheel will mount onto this wheel, the answer is yes. Fitting the wheel and freewheel assembly into the Raleigh Pursuit frame is another matter, but easily remedied if it does not fit. The Pursuit frame is spaced for a 5-speed freewheel on probably a Sturmey-Archer wheel. If this is a bit tight (allow 5mm clearance between smallest cog and chain-stay) it can easily be spread to fit.

No prob they are 14 mm most 2.8 wheels are. 3.8 wheels come in 17mm but they are bigger say for an Tmaxx or savage. Hope this helped Merry Christmas.

I never rode with the old version, but have used this new hub on 2 different folders, both 20" bikes. One has a 44 tooth chain wheel, the other a 52 tooth chain wheel. I prefer the 44 tooth chain wheel but the 52 is faster and would be better if there were no hills. It shifts at about 7-8 mph with a 20" wheel, regardless of chain wheel or cog. Some adjust the spring tension to shift at a higher speed, but I ride it as it came and it works well for me.

I put a 7 speed freewheel on this wheel and it works great. 6 will work too. I am assuming you have the old 27 inch, 126mm hub config like most road bikes of the 1970s and 1980s.

I looked it up on Google & here's what I found: http://www.sportsmith.net/images/product_support%5CProForm%5CPFEL038120%20-%20PROFORM%20HYBRID%20TRAINER%20BIKE%5CPFEL03812.0-333188.pdf

The Tourney freewheel has a nominal 34mm threaded female connection to screw onto the hub of your back wheel. Its measurements from gear 1 to gear 7 top dead center is a nominal 32 mm. You should compare this to the freewheel that you are replacing. Whether you can get to the super low will very much depend on your rear derailleur.

Fuzion metal core wheels are very fast wheels and smooth when going down hills sorry i am not sure about that my son is not home tonight but fusion can tell you more about the wheels and replacements to get ,

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 :-)

Hello Tyler, Amazon asked if I would respond to your inquiry regarding compatibility of the OT-SP40 shift cables. I installed the shift cables on a 2011 shimano ultegra 10 speed drive train with a compact crank set. As I stated in the review the cables,housing and included hardware work well and the shifting is actually a bit crisper than the original equipment. As to why they do not recommend these cables for 10 speed derailleurs is a mystery to me. I do change the cables annually so a cable set that's less than seven dollars in price may lack some longevity but to me that is not a concern. That being said you may want to contact the seller regarding the compatibility of your drive train and the SP40 Cables. Hope this response helped. Ride Safe, Steve

Great price,(25 bucks and change) for a good wheel that was straight and true. Nothing fancy but for the money whats not to like. Actually bought it for winter rides on a recumbent bike for use in the north east. Oh, gears 11-32 8 speed Shimano. Hope this helps!

Not all 20" wheels are the same, basically the 451 is for narrow bmx race bikes, wheel chairs, and recumbent bikes, maybe other things, too. The rim may have a sticker with the 451 on it. The 451 is actually a little bigger and not compatible with the other 20" rims. You must know what you have before buying tires and tubes.

If your going to just swap out the gear hub, you will need new spokes and have some one lace the new hub into the original rim , then just change the selector and everything should bolt onto your frame, I converted my 24 speed mountain bike to the 8 speed gear hub and enjoy it , I never changed gears on the front chain rings so no loss to me, I like simplicity

To my knowledge, the only way that I know of to upgrade to a 6-speed freewheel without serious modifications would be to use a Suntour Ultra-6, which I use on my (now) 12-speed vintage, and have had no problems. A 7-speed would be too large (wide) for this hub as well as too wide for standard vintage dropouts. Hope this helps

Yeah, it's a standard Shimano mount. If your wheel takes a Shimano-style cassette it will fit. May not fit some older style free wheels.

You need two pieces of information to determine whether this Shimano gear cluster will work on your bike. First question: is the rear gear cluster on your bike a freewheel or a cassette? Look here (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/free-k7.html) to help you determine. I've looked at the Huffy mtn bike owners manual (http://www.huffybikes.com/pdf/ownersmanuals/7f448214-b108-4c48-93eb-972b6c9e4a17.pdf) and page 36 would suggest your bike has a freewheel. The Shimano you are asking about is a freewheel type gear cluster, so if you answer yes to the first question, then on to the second question. Second question: will the Shimano gear cluster fit on your bike? I am talking about the width of the gear cluster; measured from smallest gear to largest if you are looking at it from edge on. According to Amazon's listing, the Shimano is 1.7". Measure your existing cluster and then decide. Look at this (http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/freewheels.html#6) information to help you. Finally, if you decide to go for it, you will probably want to purchase a freewheel tool to help remove the old and install the new. You may also need to know how to readjust your rear derailleur (described in the owner's manual) if the gear clusters are somewhat different in spacing and width. Good luck

The front wheel assembly IS true, at least on the two pair I have purchased. But the rear is nowhere close. You'll need patience and experience, these rims are not out of the box and on the road. Most of my bikes use the Shimano SIS spin on freewheel. The hub is not the same as the stock wheel my Schwinns came with, so the high and low stops on your derailleur will have to be adjusted. I have a set on a '73 Super Sport and a '88 World Sport. I also dressed the hoop welds because they seemed too sharp, about 35 minutes on each rim with a small pair of files and emery cloth. Even after this, they are a good value for a very low cost option to get you back on the road... The front wheel assembly IS true, at least on the two pair I have purchased.

The wheels will work,you'll have to by a cassette type rear gear,you could upgrade your rear derailleur and put 8 gears on it. There's only 24 spokes,I weigh 223 so the verdict is out for awhile,they're true and strong with the tubular type rims,you might have a little trouble inflating the tires since the rims are deep so the shrader valve barley peeps out,push the valve through and screw the cap on or you'll have problems finding it.
