I was down this road last summer. Make sure you understand the terms: "cassette", "freewheel", "Schrader", and "Presta". In my case the bike was old enough to still be using a freewheel. Here's what I ordered from Niagara in July:

1 x Alex X101 Alloy Freewheel 7/8S QR 700C 36H Silver/Silver (50124) = $30.58
1 x Park FR Series Freewheel Removal Tools FR-1 For Shimano FW (52556) = $6.78
2 x Inline Boxed Tube 700 x 38/42C , Schrader (standard) Valve (51337) = $6.98
1 x Alex X101 36H Alloy QR 700C Silver/Silver Wheel Front (50128) = $27.18
2 x Cheng Shin C1437 Comfort Tire 700 x 38C Wire BSW (50624) = $9.98

I had been told that the rims would be drilled for Schrader valves, but after I got them I found out that they were drilled for Presta valves, so Niagara sent me the Presta tubes N/C, which was what the bike had originally anyway.

Good luck
