easyroller:
I read from a seller on the bay that homer MK2 hubs come with attachments so you can run either metric or imperial freewheels, is this correct?? and if so is it also possible with MK1s? as i bought a couple mk1s and found out to late i had gotten imperial size. (not a big fan of dinner plate sprockets)

i seem to remember george making the adaptors you mention,

he definitely made a version to run a 14t freewheel, i had one years back, you could run a khe 13t/dk 12t on one of those,

the difficult bit might be getting the adaptor/freewheel of if its fitted with a 16t already, if you need further advice i could ask george for you,

 are they on the dsr?

I actually got the freewheel off now as built it up onto a primo balance 7005 to cut some weight , the drive side is right, and i have been looking for a seam on the right side to see if its possible to "unscrew" the imperial threading area and say screw in a metric but it looks one piece to me, maybe the attachment goes on the left side with opposite internal thread ?,as you can see i am pretty clueless ,  i was reading up at the g-sport site and didn't see any mention of attachments or converters ,and i guess george would get like a thousand dumb mails a day so, figured i would check here first, but by all means if you would be so kind as to ask him for me , i appreciate it, thanks.

SaMAlex:
I have never heard of metric or imperial freewheels? I only thought there were 2 sizes (al la flip flop hubs), and now there is right hand and left hand drive.

Doesnt mean there isnt metric and imperial freewheels, Ive just never heard of them.

easyroller:
I think thats the term used to describe 24x 1.6or something threading(metric) the smaller side on flipflop and 30x 1 or something threading (imperial) the larger side of flipflop hub, i read it on one of georges posts at g-sport site so i figure its right, maybe i got it wrong to further confuse matters.
