thanks for all the info!

i'm trying to put it on a relatively new track bike. aa windsor the hour. the wheel has a single speed cogset. one of the flippable ones with fixed and freewheel.

do spacers and washers look similar?

EDIT; the freehub (if that's what it's called -- the thing that holds the spokes) seems smaller than the one on my bike.
having the wheel dished is a big deal though huh? i mean it includes respoking the wheel no?

also, being a single speed, if i distribute the spacers unevenly on each side of the hub than the wheel would be off center, no?
