need a bit more info. i am going to asume you have a coaster wheel so you will need a three prong coaster cog and a snap ring. but some of those wheels are threaded and requier a bmx freewheel.

well hell... ive never really dealt with coaster wheels so im not really sure what to do with it.

if you bought wheels with a coaster brake, youll need a cog and snap ring. any bike shop should be able to sell ya one cheap.

yea there coaster brake wheels but the guy just left the part out about not having a sprocket on it. thanks for all your help karfer and ccr. ill be taking the wheel by the bike shop today after work.

You can bring it out on Thurdsay if you haven't figured it out yet, I have cogs, might have an extra lock ring.
