Hi,
I'm looking at buying some second hand Omega Strada wheels. The person selling them isn't too hot on bike terminology and I doubt I'd be able to get a convincing answer if I were to ask them directly so I thought I'd try here:
Can anyone hazard a guess at what I would find under the sprockets in the photo: Freewheel or freehub? I suspect a freewheel thread given it is a 6-speed.
Also, could anyone summarise the options for shifters with such a hub? Would I have to change the 6s freewheel for a 7 or higher in order to easily find compatible indexed shifting components?
Sorry for the ignorance - it's my first go at building, rather than maintaining, anything bike related so I'm having to learn as I go.
