What type of hub is this?

What type of cassette do I need for this hub? I think it's a uniglide...the older freehubs where the last lockring is threaded on. There's no room on the inside of the body for threads...

yup uniglide. they aren't made anymore, so if you're dead set on using that wheel, it's off to ebay for you! you can't replace the freehub body with a newer HG type body, so i would say the best alternative would be to replace the whole wheel with something more current.

You can if it's not Dura-Ace. I've done it on two of my old UG hubs.

This should be a helpful article. It covers freehub transplants, etc.
