Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

axle width for singlespeed?
Will a dropout width of 127mm fit a singlespeed/fixed gear wheel?

Uh, you can change the axle width ("spacing"), by just adding/removing spacers. A longer axle might be necessary. So the answer is yes, I guess.
