Subject: [CR]Re: question for wheelbuilders
Sorry I missed something, but why switch the axle around? Doesn't
re-dishing alone make for an OK chain line?

Wayne. The wheel on this bike
http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/freeman2.htm
is built like you described. I just took the wheel that came with the
bike and
switched around the axle and redished it. Have been commuting on it for
a
year and a half and never had to retrue it. And I just did that for a
customer
too. You need a brake on the rear because you can't use a lockring on a
road
hub.
