Yes to all of that, but you won't have any issues with the wabi wheelset.

Dave1978

Ok thanks. Just to be clear, I can set the rear hub to be fixed/freewheel correct? The description is ambiguous. It says it's threaded for fixed on both sides.

Nagrom_

Yes, you can put a freewheel on cog threads no problem.

Dave1978

Awesome, thanks man.

Nagrom_

It's cool, you owe me like 60 bucks now.

Sheesh....give OP a break.

Hopefully he's too busy riding his new bike around to be too bothered by this thread.

So he shopped around for a bike....found a good deal. Good for him. I'm sure there will be things he will need in the future that he will get from his LBS. So it's really a win-win, plus now there's one more cyclist on the road increasing awareness.

I TRY to go to my LBS...but if I know what I want and can get it online and dont mind waiting for shipping, prices are better online. If I need advice etc. I give the local shops a shot.

One local shop will get no business from me. When I asked about different cogs for my fixed gear they replied, "No one rides those anymore, you should check out some of these awesome Trek road bikes" Like I give two cents what everyone else is riding.

OP if you have a shop near you that embraces fixed gear bikes, you should definitely show them love. But I aint mad at ya for finding a better deal online....So long as you ride the darn thing.

No one is upset about shopping around and finding a good deal. The issue lies in going to a store and pretending you're interested in something, only to test a few bikes, figure out what size you need and then walk out with no intention of going back to that shop. And fine if the shop didn't have what was wanted at an affordable price, but IF you feel like you were helped in a satisfactory way, maybe throw them a bone in the future.

You guys act like supporting a bike shop/local business is the worst thing in the world. The guy on ebay isn't organizing alley cats, local rides, nor giving back to the community like most bike shop do.

Nagrom_

That's not what he said he did. That's what you guys said he did.

How on earth did you get that impression? Are you even reading? No one said anything about bike shops being bad. Everyone is just saying there's nothing wrong with find a good deal on a used bike.

Really guys? Read.
Y'all are so quick to just jump on people. One post into the website and you guys call him a dick. Maybe that's why this subforum is really just 4 guys talking about their day and maybe even their lunch. You guys are apart of the community and the community kinda blows here guys. And based on the "read this first" sticky, you guys are apparently proud of it.

What other subforum was a ****ing warning sign in the door that says "Hey, we're all ********"?

SpeshulEd 

Actually, he kind of did.

To me, that sounds like he went into a shop, took up someone's time who thought he was intent on buying by test riding bikes and figuring out what size to get and then bought a bike on ebay.

Nagrom_

Did you miss the part where he said he spent 10 mins talking to an employee?

SpeshulEd 

Did you miss the part where I said it's not such a big deal but if the shop helped in a satisfactory way, maybe throw them a bone in the future.

Nagrom_

I definitely read that. It's right after the part where you assumed he was pretending to buy bikes simply for a fit.

I wonder if OP even ever road an test road an undefeated?

Siu Blue Wind

Okay guys calm it down.

It's over.

He bought the bike elsewhere at a really good price.

It's done.

So let's not keep attacking each other please. Thank you.

Scrodzilla

And you, for some strange reason.

I had grilled cheese for lunch.

Siu Blue Wind
