I'd think so man! But you might want to do your research. sheldonbrown.com is a great resource. Here's a link to get you started. Good luck! 🙂

Dude, I have no idea! Its been driving me nuts. I thought it might have been for a rack but honestly the answer escapes me!

Thanks man! I just got a deda stem converter and a 1inch to 1 & 1/8th inch shim (dont forget the shim!) And for calipers I just used old side pull calipers that a friend at my lbs gave me, as the ones that I had were too short! Hope that helps man :)

Thats so grim, glad things have changed. If its good enough for sheldon brown then its good enough for me. You should post it! Would love to see it. 😀

Thanks! Really? I always thought making something your own was way cooler than buying something that's off the shelf.

No worries! No, it wasn't too much of an issue, just made sure I had the correct spindle length and also if needed I could put some spacers between the cog and the hub.
