• hey - yeah cheers. I know its all so repetitive. i kinda get lost in all the jargon AND there IS SO much out there. no probs buying a new back wheel just wanted to make sure i wasnt being a pigeon.

    edscoble - was look at a peugoet youd converted yesterday (was it this thread?). Looked cool and looked like you had same drop outs as me. Anyway looking at the bike and think i have "Horizontal Dropout Campagnolo 1010" (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/singlespeed.html). Talked to Charlie from Charlie the Bikemonger and he said i would NEED a ENO hub for £120 (no thanks!). was thinking drop out angle + half link + gearing would be okay. but "Charlie" threw me. may have been mislead by my claim to have a "vertical dropout".

    basically you have this;

    singlespeed bicycle in the past use those dropout (without gear hanger), there's plenty of room to adjust your chain tension anyway, so you'll be fine.

    you don't need to spend money on the eccentric hubs, just get those cheap Formula/System EX/Zenith etc. hubs, despite the cheap price tags, they're reliable and plenty durable.
