Single or double sided fixed hub?

building a new wheelset, but am torn between getting a single sided or a double fixed rear hub. go for function and have a backup set of threads, or go for aesthetics and have a nice clean single sided. they're phils, so it's supposed to be a functional wheelset... hmmm, decisions, decisions. thoughts?

Have and not need or need and not have?
No dishing on a flop-flop either.

you could get something machined to cover the other side if you don't want to see it, it would just connect to one of the threads, then get it polished/painted to match

^ are you SERIOUS flickwg? Flip-flops look badass.
perhaps you could cover the other side with.. hmmm.. a cog and lockring? ;-)

that would be nice, but the aestetic issue is more in that i really like the look of a dished wheel... not a big fan of the way double sided looks so skinny.

I've been wondering about whether single sided are dished, now I know.

if your happy with 1 gear, then get single sided, if your undecided then..................

Why not?

If your going for cheap hubs get double sided,
If your going for expensive single

But I end up just changing wheels/bikes rather than fliping,
