Rear Wheel Assembly

[Joeyk99]

I am very confused with how the rear wheel attaches to the sprocket,brake,axle etc. also I was wondering how a drum brake attaches to the frame.

Wheels, sprockets, brake discs/drums all attach to each other via an axle and keyway or a dual hub. A dual hub allows you to bolt a wheel onto one side of it and a sprocket and brake drum on the other and have the whole setup rotate on a dead axle. Using a regular axle requires bearing mounts and individual hubs for each piece.
Also drum brakes usually have some mounting hoes on the side of the stationary piece.
Hope this helps

The fifth through the seventh items are dual hubs, though the 5th is used with an axle. If you plan on getting the 7th item, pay special attention to the bolt pattern; the sprocket, wheel, and brakes must have the same pattern.
