Hi,

Just windering if I can install a threaded freewheel (http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=1549) on a flip flop wheel? I am building a bike for the GF and she wants the color of those track/fixed wheelset but wanted a multi gear.

Will appreciate any help.

Yes you can.
But the wheel will have to be re-dished/re-spaced.
It would be much easier to buy the right wheel.

Enjoy

if you have expirience working on wheels redishing it is pretty easy, or you could get a proper hub laced to a colorful rim
