Reddit mentions of Shimano MX 16 Tooth Single Speed Freewheel (16T X 3/32-Inch)

I have a cheap single speed commuter bike, not too different from that one. The generic freewheel it came with was all sorts of awful. Lots of ticking/clicking and really nasty feeling bearings. Not sure if yours is the same. I swapped it for a Shimano one which made a huge difference. You need a special tool to get the old one off or you can take it to a shop for a really quick swap.

Chain tensioners are also really nice to have to dial in your chain tension. Not necessary at all but nice for the peace of mind. Something like these.

basically the hub is like one of these.

then i screw a free wheel on to that, that has an open end like this as opposed to this. I then get an old school metal bottom bracket cup which has the same threads as the free wheel. I screw that into the freewheel and then the next free wheel on to that extension piece (the bb cup).

There is not a lot of driveline loss unless you really tighten the chain, than you really feel it. my chain tensioner (standard old road bike part) was keeping the chain way too tight.

I'm assuming you removed a threaded on 5-cog freewheel from the rear wheel and then threaded on a single cog freewheel. I am assuming you did not remove a cassette and place a single cog and a stack of spacers on a freehub for this conversion. Is that correct?

- Yes and I replaced it with a Shimano single speed thread on freewheel: https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-Tooth-Single-Freewheel-32-Inch/dp/B0011YEAZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542405280&sr=8-1&keywords=shimano+single+speed+freewheel

I haven't put on axle nuts yet, I am thinking about going that route with a new solid spindle

Hey just getting back into biking after maybe 4 years of not touching it. I would like to get a flipflop hub so i can coast and also a rear and front brake. I have none of that equipment to do so. I also want to re-tape the bars too. What should I get? How do I order the brake set? What do you recommend? Someone said tektro but I was having a hard time finding out which ones i should get and what other things I needed to get for them. Here is my bike:

Edit: Like would I buy this to make it free wheel? https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-Tooth-Single-Freewheel-32-Inch/dp/B0011YEAZ0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=flip%2Bflop%2Bhub&qid=1562768778&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1
