Hi I'm new to this, I'm looking for some advice on converting my old Peugeot road bike to fixed gear/single speed.

I'm looking to buy a new wheelset with a flip flop hub. Most of the ones I have seen say they fit to 120mm rear dropouts and 100mm front. I measured the dropouts on my frame and they are 160mm rear and 120mm front. I haven't seen any wheels that say they fit to this size.

Is there anything you can do to space them out or something? or make them fit?
Anybody have some advice they could give me to help me with my conversion? as I'm very new to this.

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheers
James

where/what are you measurimg?

I measured the space between the rear dropouts/forkends (which was 160mm) and front forkends (which was 120mm)

WTF? Are you sure?

Are you sure that you're measuring on the inside of the dropouts, not the outside?

If the dropouts are spaced that far apart, you've got bigger problems than needing a new wheel.

This.

kudos for spelling peugeot correctly, nobody seems to be able to

I'd imagine it's written on the bike...

didn't stop this guy...https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...rsion-question

Yeh I'm sure Ive measured it a few times to check,

heres a picture of the bike, check it out

There's no reason that bike would have 120 front/160 rear spacing.

Ha ha ha ha! Nice looking bike, but 160mm rear spacing is very large... Refer to the Sheldon's page

Looks like standard spacing to me...

160mm is for tandem/fat tire bikes. Are you measuring on the inside of the dropouts?

I guarantee that's wrong. The only bike I know that uses dropouts close to that size is the salsa mukluk, which is designed to run 26x3.7" tires. What are you using to measure?
