minimun dropout length for conversion
 
Hello all,
I just purchased a used road bike from a local bike shop and plan on converting it to fixed. I was Just wondering what the minimum drop out length would be. It is a very smooth riding bike and will be my first fixed. View the pictures

It is a Yokota enterprise, I think from the mid nineties.
Thanks!

As long as you have some horizontal adjustability, you'll be fine. If you find you need a little more or less room depending on the cog/ring combo, you can always use a half link.

YAY. Good news.
Thanks!

Yeah that is enough. In a worst case scenario you will have to use a half link like roadfix said.
