Hub Question
Hi all..i've got a very simple question. everything i've learned about SS/FG has been online thus far so i have limited practical experience now that i've actually got my FG.
I have a hub that appears to be threaded on both sides. does that mean i can pick up a SS cog and use it as a flip-flop Single Speed/Fixed, or is there a difference and can i only get a different FG cog and make it a Fixed/Fixed hub?
It's a formula hub, if that helps, and attached is a terrible camera phone pic i took before riding in to work today.
thanks for the help.

good question... and here is another one...
Is the freewheel used on fixed threading the same as one used with freewheel threading?
I think it would be different but I am not sure.

hello
I'm currently running an ENO freewheel cog on one side of my fixed/fixed Formula hub.....no problem. Doing so throws your chainline off just a bit, but no big deal.

On a fixed/free hub, a freewheel will fit on both sides. The threads are the same.
