Thanks.

I just came across this post by Sheldon:

So either they changed the design, or Gene Spicer from Spicer Cycles changed them out for me before he sent them. He's a really good guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he did that. Also, mine is flip-flop (fixed/fixed).

EDIT: others in that same thread report getting their hubs with real track nuts. I wonder what's up with that.
