Im new to the hobby so I dont know the right names for the brakes im trying to find. I need front and rear brakes for my single speed fixie. Im not sure what frame it is because its been painted. It has the wholes for brakes but the person i got the bike from had a fixed gear set up with no brakes. I just wanna make sure i get the correct brakes for the skinny tires any recommendations?

taking a few hours to make a 5 cent bike part that’s a win in my book 🫡

I'm looking to tune my bike to ride as smooth as possible. What are some steps I should take? I'm alright with the idea of buying parts if needed. (I like to pretend money is no object and adjust down until I'm within my budget)

My bike is a converted 1979 Schwinn traveler with a 52/20 ratio (and a chain tensioner because I haven't adjusted the chain yet

Anyone in here in upstate South Carolina? Recently moved here, looking for people to ride with.

Sup Guys, I’m a shorter rider around 5’4 with an inseam of 27.5 to almost 28.5 roughly. And just wondering from any other short legged riders if they used this size/bike. Thank you!

I’d like to continue using this beast as my commuter but the weather is getting worse.

Any suggestions on tyres? I’ve still got the thickslicks on. They seem okay but not sure if there’s something a bit more suitable…

I want to fit some mudguards too, but there doesn’t look like there’s much space between brake callipers and tyres.

Hi. Looking for direction/advice/how to convert my road bike to a single speed. I’m only ever in gear 7 here in my super flat city.

I’m not sure what to provide so here is the old REI link:

Birthday present to me, my new townie build-in-process. Lock mount and lights since i commute two days a week, and I run flashing lights evrtim.

The Kenda koncept lite 23s were awful. These Ultra Sport 3s are almost as good as my GP5000s, but significantly cheaper. Changed out the brakes for something lighter and some bolts for gold colored titanium.

Carbon seat in the mail, gold chain in the cart, still deciding if I want the weight penalty and increased comfort for some aero brake levers.

I just picked up a Crew Ace Track. I converted it to single speed and I love the bike. I'm planning on buying new wheelsets but I've never own a single speed. Do I need to buy a wheelset with fixed hub or I can just buy any "regular" wheelset? Thanks!!!!

First time trying Schwalbe tires. Their 2.8's are bigger than Maxxis 2.8's 🤣

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out what the brake lever used in this CREME UNO DROP may be. It does not look like any of the regular brake leavers that I am used to - it seems kind of small and flat. Any ideas where could I get such a brake lever? Thanks!

Edit: typo.
