Converting a freewheel hub to fixed
It's a slow day at work so my thoughts are turning to resurrecting old bike parts I've got kicking around...
I've got an old but decent wheel with a screw on hub that I want to convert to fixed. Now I know that I could just screw a sprocket on and add an old bottom braket lockring for some security, but I've done this in the past and the chain line is never right. I seem to recall you used to be able to get convertors so this could be done with screw on disc wheels to use them either for road or track (effectively just an internally threaded tube with more thread on to get the spacing right). A few searches on the internet for such a thing have yielded nothing.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting hold of such a thing?
