Hello people,

I've just finished up my new paint job on my Cervelo P2K. I understand this frame is made for TT/Road cycling but I saw on the GCN youtube channel someone converted one of these with ease so I thought I'd give it a go.

Wheelset: https://www.santafixie.co.uk/40mm-700c-fk-fixedgear-black-wheelset.html

The spacing on the front fork is 100mm and the rear spacing is around 130mm. I believe the front wheel should be fine to fit but since my rear wheel is 120mm is it a case of just adding 5mm spacers on each side or should I go about converting this frame into a single-speed a different way?

Just wanted some ideas on what people would do in this situation and most importantly is it safe to do?

Fit the spacers and if there enough thread left to engage the axle nuts then you’re good to go. If not then you’ll need a longer axle.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
