Freewheel conversion

Hi

i know this must have been asked like a million times but for the life of me i cant find the thread i need by searching the forums.....

whats the best way to convert a freewheel hub to fixed, with out taking the wheel to bits and replacing the hub??!
i'm looking for anything that i can either get sent to holland or buy here. any ideas?

thanks

That will only work with a freehub not a freewheel.

Noorkiv It is easier and cheap to just buy a track hub and rebuild / build a new wheel.

Ha! We all have things like that which we mix up. I'm really bad with place names even though I have lived near for years.

Yeah i thought that was going to be the answer. only problem is i have no knowledge let alone experience building wheels, i would love to go down and join up one of the wheel building sessions, but sadley i think dropping in from amsterdam back to london for a wheel building session might be exessive!!
thanks guys.
