HowTo? Fixed / Singlespeed conversion from an old bike

A properly dished wheel is stronger.

Wheels that are not centrally dished have differing spoke tension on the drive/non-drive sides which makes them weaker.

You don't -have- to redish the wheel.

Thats what I thought, but then surely that the same for every geared mountain/road bike I've ever owned too? I've never had any problems with wheel strength before - well other than breaking a few wheels riding trails on a hard tail.. until I got monster rims.

I'm not that worried about wheel strength for her, she's going to be riding to the shops/uni, not riding downhill or 4x!

thanks guys, I thought that might be the case
