Newbie Question: Campy Ghibli disc wheels flip flop??

Hey,
Very newbie question, so please have some patience :)

I have the opportunity to buy a (1980/90s) Campagnolo Ghibli 700c rear disc wheel for a very good price, however it is track, and I would rather road (in an ideal world I would 'need' both).

Is there a way to make the rear wheel flip flop, so I can use track on one side and road on the other?

I was always under the impression that it was however it came and that was that, but recently someone mentioned that they could be flip flop?

Thanks in advance

Someone here will probably correct me if I'm wrong for these particular wheels, but you should be able to install a screw-on freewheel with no lock-ring on one side (White Industries / Halo Clickster / Shimano DX) to allow you to coast.

Depends on construction of the wheel. If the hub has sprocket threads on both sides of the hub then indeed you can have both fixed and free. If it is threaded on one side only then you'll have to choose one.

You can screw a freewheel onto a track hub as the threads are the same. The lock ring threads will not be used.

(I have a fixie with a double fixed hub - one side has a freewheel on it)

By "road on the other" do you mean geared though?

Short answer would be no. A Ghibli is either track or road, although in theory the road version could be adapted to track by screwing on an adaptor. However, going the other way around, in other words screwing a freewheel onto a track specific disc, will not work, as the thread for the track cog sits much further outboard than the thread for a road freewheel would. The 'cheaper' Campagnolo disc from the same era, the Khamsin, was of a flip-flop design.
