Yup. But if you want to make a fixie you'll need a track frame with horizontal dropouts or you'll battle to get the chain tension right.

Those look sweet, If you do go ahead, I'll come into the deal with you. I'm also currently looking for wheels for my S/S build.

I stand corrected, but some older rear track hubs are a bit narrower that road hubs.

Not at all, get a chain tensioner, and it can be done without the chain tensioner as well.

Hey guys! I'd maybe like a set as well. Will you keep me in the loop about shipping costs and hub specs etc. as well?

[Waynehans]

When I get the reply I will post here. then we can decide!!!

 

Also got this company in the UK. Not as many colours, but cool wheels aswell

I have tried so many companies in the UK and the USA for these type of wheels, but no one would ship to SA. I gave up and bought Campy wheels locally. Hopefully you come right. Pniel the Hubber bought Espresso wheels for his bike a while ago.

[Waynehans]

In the UK and USA i got a friend. I will do payment and deliver to him. They will then do the postage if the companies are full of crap.

Those Espresso wheels are almost R800 cheaper than the Aerofix ones

 

Edit:Sorry.. That's for the rim only.. Wasn't payng attention
