Is the HUB fixed/fixed or fixed/free? (I know it comes with fixed/free, but if you take the freewheel off is it double threaded like the fixed side?)

The wheels are "track" wheels. They are fixed/fixed only. There is no way to mount a freewheel to them without replacing the hub and spokes.

Does "fixed" mean that the pedals continuously spin when in motion? Yes, however this bike offers a flip flop hub which can switch to a single speed which will allow free wheel motion. These hubs are very popular on single speed and fixed bikes.

I ordered the wheel in February, and it came with the skewer and quick release in the hub. So far, the wheel is performing very nicely.My front wheel is a Weinmann, and has been on the bike, a 1980 Univega, for over 20 years, as I remember, with no problems.

Its a "factory assembly", i assume its "factory balanced".... we had one put it that looked like someone just replaced the motor and reused the old wheel and it was loud, so I got this one and it is much better...

You need to install a rear cog of your own. The threads are there for the freewheel to be spun on.

It comes with no hub. I'm having a hub machined to fit it to my 83 bass tracker . So youjust need the correct hub

I am happy with mine, however it went on an early 99 f350, which uses a coarse thread. I'm unaware of the warranty or return policy. The item I ordered was exactly what i was looking for; the 8 lug hub. Don't let the generic photo fool you, pay attention to the part number. These are fine thread as everyone has stated. So.... I bought new lug nuts and late model rotor to fit. (early -99 are a little different offset, which required the rotor swap.) I replaced all ball joints while i had it apart. This unit really got rid of the "Float" which is why i replaced mine. ( 37" tires are just so heavy and abusive on parts, so i went to a 35.) I'm hoping these last lol.

Cassettes slide onto freewheel hubs. Freewheels like this screw onto fixed hubs that have threads on them. This includes the cogs/sprockets and the freewheel. If your hub has a built-in freewheel, this won't work.

It's not difficult. A spoke tool is handy to loosen the spokes but not 100% necessary. The cog will probably need to be removed from your current hub to remove the spokes from that one side. You'll also want to make sure the hubs are really comparable in size, otherwise you'll need different length spokes. You'll also need to get the spokes/wheel trued so it doesn't wobble. Hope this helps.

They have the left pedal bolt threading reversed when it should be the right one. This causes the pedal bolts to "unwind" and loosen when pedaling forward. I called the customer service for fisher price / mattel and the guy said that if I followed the directions, it would have been fine. You don't need to be an engineer to know that a reverse-threaded left pedal bolt and a standard threaded right pedal bolt will cause both pedal bolts to unscrew under forward pedalling. I guess they hired a managers kid to be their quality control tech and/or design engineer. EASY FIX: After you call customer support to have them resend the bolts and pedals (no charge), go to Lowes, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Ace, etc. and get a high strength epoxy designed for metal to metal. I used Loctite Threadlocker 271 Red. Put the bolts through the pedals all the way. Then dab a little of the red glue on just the bolt threading. It's kinda runny, so be careful. Coat the outter 2/3 of the length of threading (from the tip inward 2/3 of the length, so that when you tighten it, there won't be any squeezed out to get on the plastic pedal). Now, do one pedal at a time and make sure you adhere to the R or L on the bolt head. While holding the outside of the pedal, keep the bolt head (non glued end) pushed in to fully expose the threading on the other end. Mate the bolt threading to the female threading on the crank and SLOWLY turn it BACKWARD. This backward pedalling motion will tighten the bolt (when, if correctly designed, should loosen them). When you feel the threads engage, continue to turn until you have no more finger space left on the bolt head. Then use a wide-head screwdriver to snug it completely. Repeat this with the other side. The glue sets in about 10 minutes, but I did it just after my son had gone to sleep to allow the full 10 hours for the glue to cure. Be sure to spin the pedals a few minutes after you apply it to make sure none of the glue is holding them. Hey Fisher Price, my resume's available if you want it! ;-)

Yes freewheels are screw on directly to the rear hub, cassettes are the kind that slide on and have a lock ring.

the hub was prpperly dished and required only minor truing and tightening of the spokes. I am in my second season and these rim have been great. I would buy another set if I was in need of them.

The hub has a coaster and freewheel version. Both have 120mm hub spacing with adapters to convert to 130mm spacing. Make sure you know which version of the hub you are getting!

Not sure bout fixed cog due to having to thread it on. but single speed is possible

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 !

Get the ones with abs regardless of thread pitch. That way, even if you don't have front abs, you have a port you can stuff grease into. It really helps that axle needle bearing from wearing out. If the thread pitch is different, knock out your old studs and put them into the new hub. That's what I did and it took less than ten minutes. Plus I think the fine thread hubs were cheaper for some reason. Best of luck!

Yes, it is a screw on freewheel; all freewheels are screw on.It will not fit on a new wheel (most likely). New wheels use free cogs, not freewheels. Free cogs are cog sets which slide onto new wheels; they do not screw on. However, to be sure, you need to find out if the wheel you are interested in take a free cog or a free wheel.
