Yeah I've been looking for weeks but a used freehub 27 wheel is rare as hen's teeth..

Would it be impossible to install 28 wheels on a bike that formerly had 27s? Can imagine I'd at least run into issues positioning the brakes

Well it's cool if the singlespeed kit becomes useless, I've got a frame that I"m planning to build my main bike from which canuse the kit.

How does the running singlespeed by leaving the freewheel on work, tho?

Yeah the old road bike has horizontal dropouts, been watching plenty of youtube so as far as I can tell the conversion is simply a case of stripping the bike of all geared baggage, getting some shorter crank bolts so I can modify the existing chainset.

Just to clarify I don't own the wheel pictured, I found it for sale online and I'm trying to work out if it's suitable for me. That's the only clear picture of the rear hub on the ad.
The ad says this, roughly translated:
"The cassette is designed for 6-way circuits. The front hub is by Araya, the rear hub from Shimano."

If it is a freewheel rather than a freehub, am I going to have difficulty converting to singlespeed?

This is the singlespeed kit I've bought btw

Hi so I am totally new to the game, and i'm going to learn by having a go at converting my fucked up old road bike with 27in wheels to a singlespeed.. having to get replacement wheels tho and I want to buy second hand but I'm having a mare finding them. (I live in Berlin btw, but my German is still pretty shonky so this bike's getting built auf Englisch.)

SO my question is: if I removed the cassette from this here wheel, would I be able to convert it into a freewheel with a standard singlespeed kit?
