SS/Fixed Hubs available in the UK

Thanks all. I've actually gone for some Weinmann XR19s, erring on the side of caution for now which at the very least stops me wasting money/life on the tube every day. I'll see how I go and whether I venture towards SS in the future. If so I'll have some XR19s for sale :)

yes you can but you will need to redish the rear wheel, the spokes on the freewheel side should be shorter. you'll need to adjust the spacers/nuts

Thanks very much for the quick response. Now I just have to work out if it's the right thing to do or if I'll regret limiting myself to a 10 speed setup that doesn't have much oomph when I get my speed up. But those wheels do look damn pretty.

Hi all,

I want to buy some Weinmann DP18 which I understand to be freewheel on one side. My question is, can I fit a 5speed freewheel set of cogs on it? I want the aesthetic of a fixie bike but not the single-geared-ness.

Thanks in advance for your help. I would post a new thread but have only just joined.
