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)

I would suggest going to the hardware store and picking up some thin 3/8" nuts and some spacers. That way you are able to dial in your chainline. To pull your cog in, add spacers to the fixed side and remove spacers on the freewheel side. To push your cog out, remove spacers on the fixed side and add spacers on the freewheel side.
