I've done just about every type of cycling but this, so here goes. I just picked up a lovely silver Quickbeam with the stock Suzie hubs Riv used. It's threaded on both sides and had one freewheel. Will a fixed cog work on the other side, or does that take a specific threading? I know these

YMMV.   I love the look but hate the feel. I used "non-aero" (at the time, we just called them "brake levers") levers on my 64 Dunelt, and for 20 years on my P15 Paramount.  I switched to aero style levers in 1991 and haven't braked from the drops since.  It's all brake from the hoods except

The pivot is located in a different place, and you have a lot less leverage than with the aero style. /Æro levers are generally an improvement over the older type. The pivots are located differently, making it possible to get fairly serious braking from the position where the rider's
