This seems relevant to what ive been looking into. I#ve got a 1980's racing bike frame (a falcon) which is currently set up as a single speed. I want to upgrade the wheels. I've got a shimano r-500 front wheel from my last bike. if i got the rear wheel to match (with it's 8,9,10, spd compatibility) would i be able to run it as a single speed, and would i have to use spacers like i currently have on the back wheel? If i got some track wheels or something designed for a flip flop hub would i end up with a better looking and riding outcome?
Cheers
