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.

With the exception of BMX bikes, children's bikes, and bikes with a freehub instead of a freewheel, it should fit. If you want to get really technical, this website will help: sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html In my experience freewheel size has been very well standardized. If you really want to make sure take it to a bike shop.

Mine did not come with a freewheel ("cog"), I bought it separately and installed myself. This freewheel Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheel and this tool for installing Park Tool FR-1 Freewheel Remover for Shimano Freewheels are what I purchased.

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, 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

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.

This bike is flip flop. Have 2 cogs if you choose free wheel or fixie. Is very easy to do :) yes you can do it

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

This is a screw on freewheel requiring threads on the rear hub popular on older bikes 1990's and older. I believe newer bikes use cassettes and are not interchangeable. Perhaps some less expensive bikes may still use freewheels. You can take your rear wheel to your local bike store and they can tell you what you have. You will need some kind of removal tool you can buy from them anyway.

My bike DOES have a quick release wheel, so I can't say for sure if it's possible to use the trainer without a quick release wheel (not sure how the wheels might differ). Sorry I can't be of more help.

It comes with a quick release axle to replace the one on your bike. It was not too easy to change but it works great now!!

like the bike a lot, should be OK for you, but I agree will not get you up a hill...you need more power...

No, the wheel will not spin freely. The stand supports the bike upright. A work stand would be better suited to hold the bike to spin the wheels.

I would take the rear to a LBS and make sure the freewheel/ hub will accept it first. you may end up needing a wheel.

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

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 morecle,
