as the title says really,
this is my first attempt at converting to fixed wheel from an old racing bike i found on freecycle..
it has 27inch wheels, so i'd much rather keep to that size than decrease to 700c,
only recently i realised it wasnt just a case of,
remove the freewheel, screw on a cog.
rather i'd need a hub designed for fixed wheel bikes, with two opposite threads etc..
im looking for the most basic wheel going tbh, i thought buying a complete would be cheaper rather than pay to get crappy hub+rim built...
thanks in advance
