Yet another Dumb SS conversion question: and yes I have read the entire Sheldon Brown SS site and others as well as 100's of posts here and still I have several questions.

1) I have a 1984 Centurion Accordo that I have begun to convert to a SS. The rear dropouts have adjuster thingys that would seem to be possibly be useful for adjusting the chain without needing a tensioner?



2) I bought the Forte conversion kit and now am wondering if it will work on this wheel when the freewheel is removed. (I haven't done that yet I do not have the correct tool.)

3) Will I have to have the rear wheel re-dished? I still can't understand the need to do this if you are basically riding in the equivalent of one of the 6 rear cogs.

Please help and any other advice/suggestions to a novice bike piddler would be helpful
