Soooo, I picked up a 20" girls bike for my niece I'm redoing. I got these rims off of ebay like this, http://cgi.ebay.com/BMX-Bike-Bicycle-20 ... 213wt_1165 as I thought they looked really cool.
I didn't read the fine print nor could I see in the picture, nor did I give it a second thought that the rims wouldn't come with a rear sprocket. Oh, I'm sorry you ordered this steak, well, butter for your potatoes and the fork are extra. Anyhoo, I wrote back to him wanting to know what the deal was. He didn't really seem to care nor understand what I was saying (he wrote "I'm glad your interesting").
I noticed on the rims there is a threading machined around the hub, I've never seen this before. This, I'm guessing is where the freewheel sprocket spins on. I measured the threading and it's 1 3/8" or 34mm.
My question is, can someone verify this, will one of these sprockets work on this rim? Is this a standard size for one of these:
Also, the original rims on the bike took an 18 tooth sprocket, will a 22 or 16 work?
