I want to convert this type of wheel to 120mm spaced to use as fixed.
I have been using it with screw on 8 speed block when using gears.
Also have been using it for MG 72" events-with an adapter converting it to fixed wheel-in a road frame.
I now have acquired a track frame & I would like to use this wheel.
I have removed the centre part of the wheel(screw hub etc), is it possible to purchase a similar part to convert the wheel to fixed, with 120mm spacing.
Your help, advice would be great as to the possibility-cost & where to get the parts from.
Brian..
Now sorted Very Happy
