I did not have any problems to install freewheel on Wabi. Actually ..not me but my LBS guy .. He did not even blinked... done it in 12 seconds.
Also..I looked at Moto Team Track wheels and it had two fixed cog installed.(soem Vuelta Pro wheels).. I asked out if they change it to freewheel if customer needed and he said "why not"..
