Pardon my wheel ignorance...pleas tell me if im crazy...

I just scored a hot wheelset...and, I was originally going to use them in a new road bike build, but, its gonna be a long time before I can put together a roadie bike..anyways, figured they'd look hot on my track bike.

Is it possible to redish this wheel, throw a track cog on there, and have a new fixie wheel? Previous owner said that the rear wheel was setup to accept a Campy cassette.

I would think that it would be 130mm spacing, correct? And of course, my fixie is 120mm spacing. Is that a possibility to convert it? Too expensive? Too weird??

thanks,randy

Surly makes a "fixxer" for shimano hubs, maybe it will work on your wheels...check with Surly.

I don't know if this (http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/resources/stevens/) would help or not.

man, give the spinergys to me and I'll give you a decent "fixed" wheel.................. I'll even have our team wheel builder make one specially made for you, at my expense.
I have been drooling over those at the LBS......

Pls give them to me....:D
