I have a flip flop Suzue hub on the rear of my supergoose, I thought you flip the wheel around so you can make it a fixie.

glenboy:
To my understanding you had the flip flop hub so you could change the gearing instantly just by flipping the wheel so you might have a 14 tooth on one side and la 16 tooth on the other so if you wanted a lower gear at a certain track etc  it was. a 1 min job to change the gearing
