[Closed] Single speed rear hub query

I want to convert a Carrera Subway from 3x7 to ss. I see that the rear hub has a screw on cassette. Can you buy a screw on cog to fit this type of hub?
If so any pointers on what I need and where from please?

Thanks Nathan

What you need is a "screw-on freewheel" (assuming you want it as singlespeed, not fixed gear).
eg available from Charlie the Bike Monger: http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/freewheels-screw-on-224-c.asp
Or this from Chain Reaction: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-single-speed-freewheel/rp-prod7805

It would be worth re-spacing the hub and re-dishing the wheel to improve chainline though.
