  1. I currently have a 20 tooth freewheel on my single-speed,
    but would like to find a larger freewheel.

    I have a "standard" flipflop hub (whatever that is -- I've been able
    to purchase a number of freewheels & cogs for it).

    Could anyone suggest a larger freewheel, including where
    to buy such a thing. I've asked around at a number of LBS's,
    and haven't found anything bigger, yet.

  2. bikepartsusa.com has a cheap 22t freewheel, 1/2"x1/8". I think these
    may come from India.

    _ It might be easier to get a smaller chainring in the front,
    and certainly cheaper.

    White Industries Eno single speed freewheels go as high as
    23 teeth.

    _ For a lot cheaper you can go as high as 22.

    _ I seem to recall somewhere there was a freewheel that
    allowed you to use standard road cogs, but I may be
    confused with various freehub conversion kits.

    This may not be a solution for you but you could use a standard freehub
    wheel, take apart an old cassette and use the spacers and one of the
    individual cogs as a single speed. If you have a well stocked junkbox
    (like me) this is an easy solution. Otherwise it isn't.
