Man i wicked need some help. If anyones good at repairing bikes or knows about rear wheels then please read this.

Ive got a bmx bike, and im getting this wheel:
http://www.danscomp.com/402028.php?cat=PARTS

But i dont know if

A. Is a COG a Freewheel??? My main question is, it says it comes with 12, 13, 14, 16T cogs... But, will i still need to buy a freewheel, right now i have a 16 tooth freewheel and its too easy to pettle. So im going to get a 13t which goes well with my sprocket. But, idk if a cog is a freewheel. In the picture it seems to have a freewheel on it.

B. Does it come assembled? Will it come all put together?


Those are my main questions if you have any idea please respond. thanks

Yeah, by cog they mean freewheel. It will most likely come assembled, but if it doesn't, they're very easy to put on; you pretty much just need an old bit of chain to pull it on tight with.

I think that cogs are the little spikes that the chain goes on.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Awesome

So your sure a Cog is a freewheel huh... Cause it says it comes with all of those sizes... but it doesnt make sense that they would do that... That seems like a waste of cogs for them.
Okay, so if i buy this, and it comes all i have to do is pop my chain around it and bolt it on the back like a normal wheel. Nothing else needed?
thanks dude

Right now i have 36/16 but the bearings are all messed up in the back plus i have the stock single wall rim that my bike came with, so im buying that Odysee rear wheel, which says it comes with 12,13,15,16t cogs. So, since i wanna run 36/13 i was wondering if ill have all the stuff i need... Which i will right??

That's a cassette hub, which is a lot different than a regular freewheel hub. The main difference is the fact that you can run much smaller sprockets. The insides are a lot different too, and require more maintenance than a standard hub.

"...and a 14mm axle laced with stainless spokes to an Odyssey Hazard Lite chrome rim" Sounds like it does come together.

It will bolt on the same way any other wheel will though.

Good choice, that's a very good wheel.

You're buying a $180 wheel, they can afford to throw in a few cheap freewheels. Yeah, there should be a couple of spacers, and you just whack these on with the freewheel in the middle, and tighten it up with a chain. It's possible that you may need a cassette lockring, but can't remember if they use them on BMX's off the top of my head. I'm a mountainbiker, so whilst the majority of parts are very similar, freewheels I'm not too sure on.
