Mavic Elipse Question
Rear wheel has a double fixed hub right, so has anyone gotten a SingleSpeed Freewheel to attach safely to the rear mavic elipse hub? or is it just not do able?

my concern since it steps down pretty fast for the locknut on the mavic hub is that there would not be enough contact surface for the threads of the singlespeed body to be secure, ie the ledge too short to fit a singlspeed cog. ?? ... ??

they made them kind wierd so that they would take a freewheel. a couple extra threads.
thats why some people need a spacer to get the lockring tight.
so says tech guy after my lbs owner called them and said WTF and that was their answer. so it could take a freewheel.

MP 3 is a pretty sweet deal if you think you may kill a wheel in the first 2 years.
What are you guys paying for the Ellipse? I was checking with my LBS to see if they would do a group buy for the forums...but with the lack of response for the Michie buy I told them I didn't want to bother. I may want to get a set for myself though.
