well I was planning to build it single speed with a conversion kit as I thought that was best for the parts I had but when I removed the gears I found a threaded bit similar to the second photo. Though from memory I think my wheel just has one thread not two? It's definitely an old road wheel as opposed to a track. I would like to ride fixed. I just had a look at the surly cog http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f%5FProductID=9492&f%5FSupersetQRY=Ksingle%20speed&f%5FSortOrderID=%2D1&f%5Fbct=
Do you think this would fit? I'm guessing this is for fixed gear. Also concerned whether I would get a good chain line as not much room for spacers.
