Had a pop into work today to see about getting the gearing on my bike sorted out, seems I've hit a little bump.
I was planning to use a cassette hub I've got and convert it to a singlespeed freewheel, mainly because the only size I can go to on my chainring is 38T, so I'd be running a 23T cog on the back which I can't get in a screw on freewheel for my flip flop hub, but can get as a cog for a cassette.
This would have been peachy if the cassette hub would have bloody fit my frame, but the frame has 110mm spacing on the back and the cassette is a fair whack over that at about 119mm.
Anyone have any ideas of solutions? Considering just waiting until I can get a dedicated polo frame (There's one at work which does look promising) but if there's a way anyone can think to turn the fixed into a polo bike that'd be great, I'm thinking maybe a crank that can take a smaller chainring but we've got non at work that'll fit a square bottom bracket like mine.
