Hubs like the Harris/Formula are designed with sufficient clearance that a freewheel will work safely and properly.
HMM, I have never heard of that occurring, but I think the vast majority of track hubs out there, particularly high flange hubs, have sufficient space between the flange and the shoulder of the hub that will not be a concern. What hub came with your wheel?
