I need a rear wheel for the single speed. Two options:
1. but a wheel for the single speed, would probably be an IRO, although I would like a flip flop free/free rear hub, I can do with out it.
2. buy a new wheel/set for the fixed, and put the IRO's on the single speed. Would be a great time to upgrade my wheels.
so what would you do? if you went for an upgrade, what would you upgrade to?
also while I have your attention, know of anyplace I can get red brake cable housing?
i have a set of Mavic GP4 tubular rims, on sunshine hubs with grease guards, that i will give to you if you pay the shipping. they have a threaded rear hub that will hold a singlespeed freewheel. you'll have to re-dish.
i think harris has red brake cable housing.
