I am in the process of converting my old Raleigh road bike into a fixed gear, and now I'm thinking about my rear wheel and I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to. It seems that I have two options, buy a new rear wheel meant for a fixed gear, or convert mine into a fixed gear. I would need to buy more than $60 worth of tools to convert the wheel I have now, and then I would most likely have to re-dish the wheel. If I were to buy a new wheel that is made for a fixed gear, would I still have to adjust it so that the chain line is straight? (I would be using the original crank) Is it possible to find a fixed gear rear wheel for only ~$60?
Thanks
