Just buy what you need. I only wanted the crank arms, freewheel and 24t sprocket for my shift kit.

Looking forward to seeing the pics of it up and running.

what reeds are you using?

The heavy duty freewheel is recommended.

Don't waste your $$; buy the good one. The cheap one's gonna break, your bike will be down while you're scraping up $$ and waiting for your order to arrive.

It happened to my friend Ed and his bike.

It's the kick starting that breaks the cheap freewheel.

Ok, if you have pull start, the inexpensive freewheel will work.

I have several of those and one deluxe freewheel. I pullstart mine, so the cheap 'wheel works very well for me..bld.

There was a kid in my neighborhood that made one of his moped crank arms affix with the square drive loosely with a pin, so he could turn the pedals into pegs of a sort. I think as long as the pedals are on the bike, you're okay.
