Forgive me if I'm missing something here. I like a set of wheels that are predominantly for fixed-gear bicycles, the
Eighth Inch Julian ones. I want to run them on a bicycle that has a Shimano 105 group on it.
Can I buy those wheels, purchase a compatible freehub body (or remove the freehub body from my existing wheels) and run them? I understand that I'll have to adjust the spacing, but here's what the site says about that and some other specs:
32 Black Stainless spokes
Formula Sealed Bearing hub
Fixed/Fixed Hub on Non-Machined wheels, Fixed/Free on Machined wheels.
Front and rear pair
Sleeved & Pinned Seams
100mm front spacing, 120mm rear
You can space the rear wheel to 126mm or 130mm
I would obviously be buying the machined wheels for the braking surface.
Thanks, and I appreciate advice/tips/etc.
