converting my friends road bike to fixed, also the current rims are tubular so need a wheel rebuild on the front too.
rear hub wise, looking to spend around £30 - £40 so was thinking about getting the halo hub but its a bit difficult to find anyone who's stocking them at the moment. alternatively if anyone has a rear fixed hub they're looking to sell that would be brilliant. preferably low flange as that would suit the bike a little better but thats a bit of a minor detail.
also need a pair of clincher rims, 36h (to re-use the front hub) and preferably the same depth as a mavic gp4 tubular (to re=use the front spokes). i guess it would be easier to have a 36h rear hub too so that i can match the rims but again this is a minor issue.
also need a chain ring and sprocket, 3/32 o 1/8 i guess it makes little difference (as long as they're the same). the crank set he's got at the moment is a shimano 600 so i think the bcd is 130 though could be wrong, will check.
does anyone have any of the above that would be willing to part with for the appropriate monetary fee, or does anyone have any good pointers for where to purchase said items as my internet research skill are abominable, and wiggle suddenly seems to only have a 1/4 of the rims that they had a couple of months ago.
