just found this site in Brisbane.....

I think I am gonna get a set of the spacers (better than the plastic ones
that I pulled out of a couple of old clusters), a dedicated single speed
rear cog (only $5.95), a new chain and front chain ring.......please don't
tell the missus.

I've got some alu spacers in my setup. Musta
been from higher end cassettes or something?

There's also this conversion kit which only uses two
"tubes" rather than multiple spacers:

is there something Im missing but what is so specific about a SS/fixed front hub???
(apart from it being just bolts and not QR...)
Sounds like a marketing dept blurb to me...
"Instant water. just add water and stir!"

Other than being bolt up (QR IS an option..)
The only reason for buying one is so you have
matching front and rear hubs. Vanity is a
wonderful thing for the economy...
