rear hub spacing
I want to set up a single speed with a Velosteel rear hub. Does anyone know what spacing dimension I'm supposed to get? My fixie is narrower than my Canondale, and I don't have my mountain bike here to measure. I'll probably use a road or mt. frame due to their cheap availablity. Thanks.

road bike spacing is generally 126mm or 130mm. mountain bikes are typically spaced at 135mm.

Do you have any Velosteel hubs now? Do you have a source?

I cannot read .cz, so I read the English version. Can you buy just one, or only a box of 28. If so, what is the cost including accesories required?
