Single speed (roadie) question
I have a wheel set with Formula Flip/Flop hubs (fixed/free). The
Freewheel I have will thread on to both sides and my question is this. Does anyone here have experience with using freewheels on both sides of a fixed free hub? The threads are the same but they are not as deep on the fixed side and I am not sure if the mating surface is the same where the freewheel mates to the hub. Thanks Carl |

The freewheel will grab just as many threads as a fixed sprocket would. Sheldon "But Fixed Is More FUN!"

Thanks Carl One side is for the fixed cog and one for the single speed FW but having a SS freewheel on the fixie side is no big deal... |
