Hi all, just replaced wheels on Pearsons Touche, with Goldtec hubs and DT swiss rims,the hub is for fixed both sides, but previous post suggest it's OK to use a freewheel, the 120mm spacing is correct, but with a 16 or 18 tooth freewheel fitted, when push hard uphill there was a light metallic jangle, i thought it may be the new Dicta F/wheel (normally very dry inside) but it was the rear stay twisting slightly and i ended up with a groove in the bottom of the seat stay !!! would a 12mm threaded axle and 2mm washers be a easy fix, if i could find a 12mm axle, or is there a better way ? i would file the axle flat in line with the dropouts, (only 1mm each side)
PS 18 tooth fixed also rubs when pushed
