I just received a fixed/free flip flop hub from Poodles of this parish for an absolute song in response to my wanted ad. It's 120mm over locknuts which is what I need, but what I wasn't expecting is that the hub body isn't currently centred:
The distance between flange and locknut on the sprocket side is 10mm less than that on the other side. Why would anyone have set a flip flop hub up like this? Won't it give different chainlines? I'm quite comfortable taking it apart and replacing the long spacer on the freewheel side, but I want to check I'm not missing something first?
