Lightening fast response. Thanks all. I know it's going to take a bit of playing about to get it set up. At least I know I shouldn't be wasting money now getting decent sprockets straight away rather than trying it out with cheapos.
Looking at dropouts they're 40mm long, but proably with more realistic movement of 35mm back and forward keeping in mind the slight angle of them.
Good to know I can probably use 17t (I've worked out I'm most comfortable with that for commuting) and not have to go for 18t fixed with limited skid patches and more wear. 19t would be ideal.
Thanks again.
