Thanks in advance .
The goal , to provide the maximum number of options for future flexibility .
The bicycle is a fixed-gear road bicycle , with caliper brakes front and rear .
Rear spacing is 120 mm .
The bicycle has "rear-facing-rear-fork-ends" .
This was typical road-racing bicycle technology , fixed-gear with caliper brakes , beginning perhaps around the 1920's , 1930's ? ? And of course , in the year 2004 , you may purchase a brand new Rivendell Quickbeam outfitted like this .
The rear hub WILL be threaded on both sides .
I may want to ride fixed-gear sometimes , and at other times use single-speed freewheel .
I want to use a Phil rear hub .
I could buy a "fixed-free" hub . But what if I wanted to use a single-speed free-wheel on BOTH sides ? Or what if I wanted to use a fixed-cog with a lock-ring on BOTH sides ?
I was thinking that if I bought a "fixed-fixed" hub , obviously I could use fixed cogs with lock-rings on either side . AND , I could just go ahead and use single-speed freewheels , on either side , anytime I wanted to . . .
But now ,
It has been suggested that if I bought a "free-free" hub , obviously I could use single-speed freewheels on either side . AND , I could just go ahead and use a fixed-cog with a bottom bracket lock-ring , on either side , anytime I wanted to . . .
So , What Is Best ??????
