List-

In my quest for older LF hubs I've come across a list member who has offered me a set of hubs that could work. However, they are double fixed and I plan to run them as 5sp. How safe or not safe is this? Are there enough threads there to engage and hold the freewheel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
