What is the difference between these two wheelsets?
I was browsing through Velomine and saw that one of the monthly specials was of this wheelset: https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1017
I noticed another wheelset on the site that seemly is exactly the same here: https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=884
I see that one has a flipflop hub, but otherwise they look the same. Is that the only difference? Sorry about the rookie question.

one says fixed/free, other fixed/fixed.
pretty much same hub, just one has a true "flip flop" hub. although you can run a freewheel on a fixed hub just fine, as long as there is enough threading.
the flip flop hub one is cheaper anyway.
