I've been reading the forum for awhile, but don´t post very often. I'm turning my road bike to a fixie and I need some help with the rear wheel. I want a double fixed hub and I'm not sure what to look for. I've read some posts here and I think I need it to be 135mm and I want a flip-flop hub, because here in Porto we have some climbing to do.
However, I don´t know what I must look for and how to be sure that the chain will be aligned with the front plate (I want to use the 42T, the smaller one).
Here are some pictures of the bike:
What do I have to pay attention for, when I buy the hub?
Thanks for all the help and sorry about the bad english, it's not my native language.
