Hello All,
I'm am currently running a well-loved Masi 3V as a fixed gear with a
39/14 gear pairing. Recently, I purchased a set of 130mm fixed(metric
track)/free (english) wheels from Van Dessel with the hope of making
this sweet ride suitable for longer hilly treks. Ideally I would run
something like a 39/14 fixed and 39/15 free-- hoping that I wouldn't
have to change my chain length when I flipped the wheel. I couldn't
find the AC 15t singlespeed freewheel locally and settled on a shimano
16t to try this this arrangement. Alas, when I tried installing this
freewheel I discovered that the claws used for removing the freewheel
came in contact with the rear dropout. Doh! Any tips for making this
work? Are there any narrower standard english threaded singlespeed
freewheels? I'm not seeing a good way to add a spacer to the hub.
Thanks for your help!!!
