Fixed Gear Rear Wheel
I've been riding my old cyclocross bike as a single speed and would like to source a flip-flop rear wheel that I could run a fixed side and a single freewheel side. Is there a source for pre-built wheels like that in the spacing? This bike is set-up with six speed spacing.

Get a fixed/fixed hub. It is the most versitile. Either side can run a freewheel and either side can run a cog/ lock ring. though only one or the other at a time.

Not a big deal....All you really need is a couple of washers....you don't even necessarily need to place them between the cone and lock nut. Just slide em on the axle.
