Hi, apologies if I ask something stupid but I'm new to the custom fixie game! Really glad I found this thread cos I've decided to convert an old peugeot for my next bike. I built a dirt jump bike years ago but new to the fixie stuff so I have a couple of questions about flip-flop wheelsets. (decided to go flip flop because I want to try fixie but would like a freewheel option if i dont get on with it)
If i get a flip flop rear wheelset like one of these:

What else do I need on the back wheel? A sprocket for either side and a (BMX) freewheel? I've not heard great things about create, but good value with tyres included.
I'll take photos as I go along as payment for your advice! Hopefully I'll have a nice bike at the end of it!
