I have everything done except for the wheel. The wheel I have is in pretty good shape but is a free hub. I want to replace the hub and re-lace to a fixed/free hub.

If I get a hub with the right amount of holes and the correct width, is there anything innately flawed with my plan?

Basically would like to know if anyone’s does this before. I’ve laced and tuned wheels, but never to a hub that didn’t come with the wheel.

I’m trying to learn how to skid with my right foot at the back and left foot at the front however when I resist the pedals to skid I can feel my left pedal moving up while my right foot is still in place. How do I fix this?

Im looking for my first fixed gear bike in EUROPE. The bikes i found were: •Unkown Ps1 •Poloandbike Williamsburg •Tsunami SNM 100 (can’t find it in europe) •Santafixie raval •FabricBike (Aero or Light pro) •CMNDR •State bycycle could be an option, but i don’t like how they look in general. Give your opinions in the comments. Suggest only bikes that are from europe. Also let me know is it worth building a custom bike as my first fixie. Budget is 700€ max.

hi guys i wanna get into fixed gear but i dont have a big budget to spend so im looking for an oem frame can anyone help send links?

Guys, I want to switch from a mountain bike to a fixed gear bike and I have a lot of questions.1. Is it even worth switching from mountain to fixed? 2. How to go up and down a hill on a fixed-wing vehicle? Is it dangerous? 3. Is it dangerous to drive a fixed-gear with/without brakes? 4.Will your feet always touch the front wheel when driving? I am hope for your help!!!

Hi, anyone know a good pair of wheels from aliexpres on a 100-150, maybe 200$ budget? I want to build my first fixed gear, I decided on the frame ( tsunami snm100) and the other components but I don't know what wheels I should buy. I want to buy from aliexpres because in my country I can't find a good pair. Preferably black wheels because my entire build is black based.

I’ve had an All City 612 crankset for over a decade. I’ve beat it to hell and it’s just fine for my riding. I am in the position to get a Suzue pro max crankset new and for free. Is it worth it? Does anyone have experience with one?

I was wondering about ordering some wheelsets off of there, but I cant find any proof that the site is legit. Does anyone have any history from ordering from it or just knows that it can be trusted?

Anyone know/have a small steel frame with sliding dropouts and disc brakes? Gold standard would be an All City Super Professional, but willing to look at other things.

Howdy, all!

New Jamis Sonik owner. The bike will never see the open street--it was purchased to spend 50% of the year on the trainer, and 50% on the track--BUT...

I've decided to take it out on at least one outdoor 20k time trial. Closed course, so no cars, but it's twisty and windy, and there are other riders, so all bikes are required to have a hand-actuated brake.

The Sonik is drilled for a front brake, so that's good news. Any suggestions for a front brake and lever I could swap on and off pretty easily that will do the job?

My pedal won't pedal backwards now, it's just stuck, last time my chain dropped off and got stuck between my crankset and cog and whenever i pedal it it makes a sound

Hello everyone, does anyone know which analog seatpost can be selected for Planet X T.O.R? I can’t find any information on the Internet, or does anyone know where I can buy the original one? besides the official website?)

Hi I’m on a Cinelli Mash SSCx. I am converting it from a fixed commute bike to a trail fix and single speed. I have seen someone replace the forks and put a disc brake on front. Like the photo I’ve added Can anyone advise on how and what fork I need? I can’t quite understand the axle crown thing and the 1. 1/8 to 1 1/2 fork dimensions cheers

What would be the best fixed gear hubset I could get for around $150-$175?

Hey, guys, how y'all doing?

Been riding with straps for a while now and I've been considering swithing to cleats. I use my bike not only for daily commutes but also for long weekend rides, so I intend to buy a casual shoe (thinking about velosambas) and a performance shoe (probably a shimano shoe).

The thing is: Shimano Shoe's and most Road Pedals uses 3 bolts cleats (SPD-SL) and the velosambas; two bolts (SPD).

I've been considering buying a SPD pedal (with 2 bolts) and purchasing and extra SPD-SL to SPD adapter, so I can use the Shimano's.

Anyone out there have ever done this? If so, what are your thoughts on SPD-SL to SPD adapters?

Thanks in advance.

I’m a long time roadie and am interested in an entry level fixie. Part of it is I love the need for technique but the other part is my current bikes (a road bike and a mountain bike) are really expensive so I never want to use them for day to day activities (errands, etc.) for fear of them being stolen while chained. I only use them for dedicated riding where I don’t leave them unattended for long.

Came across 2009 Mercier Kilo TT for $350. Even if not an “ideal” bike it seems like a quality if mid-range brand that would suit my needs. It wouldn’t be my main driver at first, more of a learning bike and if I ended up upgrading components over time that would be part of the learning (and I’d probably do it myself).

Curious people’s thoughts as I’m new to the fixie world.
