  • I currently have a Phil wood track hub with only one fixed side, the thread on these are 1.370 x 24 tpi.

    What I wanted to do is apply a freewheel cog onto the fixed threads, I've checked out various forums and people say that it's do able however when I sent an email to the customer service over at Phil wood, they said that they absolutely don't recommend doing as the threads will be fucked. I'm not sure who to believe.

    I have various options

    1. man up and ride it fixed for the time being
    2. Just atleast attempt it, I'm not sure what cog I could use, so if you have any suggestions, please mention.
    3. Sell the wheel and hub and get a wheel with a flip flop hub. I was contemplating on doing so but I really want to get on my bike asap and ride. Also, I'm not sure how much I could sell my wheel and hub for, it's a **HSON rim with a phill wood hub **which is 5 months old.

    What option would be best for me? Note: I have bought a rear brake already, so i'd have to sell that too if i were to opt out of trying.

    Thanks
