quick Q about track hubs and the threading
I have machined out a new axle for some track hubs I have, matched the threading and key way... but added length so I could space it for 130mm drops... but I now want to use these hubs for a multi-speed build, so I will be threading a freewheel 4 or 5sp cassette on it. My question is their a sufficient number of threads on a track hub to hold a cassette properly?
And they are HF c-record hubs and cant seem to locate a road set to build with.
also I like the Idea of the bolt, versus QR.

nope. there is no way to put a cassette on a track hub, or a freewheel hub for that matter.
if you are confusing freewheel with cassette, then yes, it will work fine. you'll obviously have to respace the hubs and dish the wheel appropriately.

hmm, I guess i didn't check to see if the cassette would even thread on yet.. they are both Italian thread so I assumed it would thread on the same as a cog... I guess not.
Also, as for the width.. good thought, the 4 sp freewheel isn't that wide.. but..
ok maybe its not gonna work, thaks for the info fellas..

AHHHH, I see what you mean... it won't even reach the threads past the lockring threads..
