@MBUK1000 yeah i love single speed, all of the geared bikes i've had have always messed up on me so i've stuck to single speed. it's not so bad because i have two jump bikes at the moment. a gt chucker and a mongoose thunderball. love em to bits.

@atalaycelebi Hey there. Most wheel sets do not come with a cassette but they do come with a freehub body. So yes, you will have to take the cassette of your old wheel. Just make sure that the new wheel is compatible with your cassette. Please let me know any other questions you may have. Thanks! (sorry did you have the same question as BigCanOfBeans? if so I will email you the answer)

@TheBicycleGeek Hello mate,
