Don’t know anything about the bike itself, but it rides well. It just needs a service and a clean.

I'm looking to upgrade my wheelset and have landed on the aluminum I9's that I can get at a discount - I love the engagement of the Hydra hub or for $200 more I can get the Kovee carbon wheels with the DT240 hubs. I am about 180# in my riding gear and ride mostly flowly and technical North East trails. I am not one to hit big jumps or drops more than a couple times a year.

The I9s are just under 1600g and the Kovee is just under 1300g. Both hubs get great reviews but I have no experience with either of them. My current 2 wheelsets are Stans Crest with RF Vault hubs or my winter rims with Transition Revolution 28s and stock hub.

Any opinions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi all, my Day One rear hub has, after a super 10 years and few thousand miles, spectacularly given up.

Any recommendations for a new hub are welcome, currently needing functional over aesthetics BUT will look at any and all recommendations. TIA.

I'm a polite/slow fixed gear rider because I love the feel of control in both directions, but sometimes I wonder if I should flip back to make life easier (particularly considering for the winter when it's harder to motivate myself to get on for my bike commute anyway) I think I'd enjoy descents with a freewheel again but might miss the bike handling benefits of fixed.

I have a 1983 Miyata 1000 touring bike frame & wheelset that I've wanted to convert to a single speed for a while. This frame had a derailleur and gearing that I've removed. I'm a bit stuck at knowing what to do next and knowing what parts and tools I need. I've gotten as far as removing the derailleur, cables, and chain; the crankset, pedals and bottom bracket are all still on, and the cassette is still attached to the back wheel.

I've skimmed over the Sheldon Brown single speed page, and watched a couple conversion videos, but I'm a bit daunted and have only done basic maintenance on past bikes. Can anyone here help point to figuring out what I need? Can I reuse the existing wheels? Cranks? Cassette? The second rear casette cog seems to be 18t, and the big front is 48t, though it is oval. What measurements to take so that I can buy new parts? What new parts are needed? Thanks!

Frame before I started removing everything

Rear wheel with cassette.

Where I'm at so far

Front cassette - have not removed, and think crank is stuck on. Don't have a crank puller or pedal wrenches

Looking to make a very light steel build without using a tight track frame. I figure I have a few options.

1: custom

2: lightweight vintage. not my ideal bb/dropout system

3:ask for advice here as to where I can find a lightweight frame with either horizontal dropouts or a pf30 bb

Hi, I'm interested in buying a 36-h single-speed cassette hub with a bolt-on 135x10 axle and a six-bolt disc mount. I've stumbled upon the Halo RidgeLine Single Speed hub, which checks all the boxes for me and seems reasonably priced, but I couldn't find any reviews. If you guys have any experience with this particular hub or know of any other better or similar options, it would be of great help to me.

Thank you in advance,

Hello! Looking to repaint a Dawes MTA singlespeed and trying to find this decal for the head tube. If anyone has any insights that would be greatly appreciated!

I like the looks of this Jitensha bike but I'm thinking it might not be worth this price. Is it? And if not, do you know where I might find something similar for less?

Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing an Elops 500 as a city bike. However, one requirement I have is that the bike needs to have a bike standard so it can stand on its own.

Has anyone managed to mount a bike standard to this bike?

Hi everyone. I’m looking to purchase a single speed bike as my second bike sometime before the end of the year. Currently I ride a trek fx 2 hybrid I bought in 2020 before bike inflation went through the roof. It’s a great bike and I’ve put thousands of miles on it.

However, I do feel that my speed and performance are limited due to. It’s more relaxed to geometry and heavy size. I don’t have the money to afford a road bike worth the upgrade from what I paid for the trek at the time (around $550). I want something lighter and faster now that I live back in New York City and I’m pretty sure I’ve settled on the kilo TT pro being the best bang for my buck at this point.

If anyone can give me any tips or steer me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all, so I live in Boulder, CO and I currently ride 52:20, I'm wondering if people think I could get away with 52:18 or 52:16. I imagine I would be giving up hills if I did that, but I'm not sure lol

I think if i only had one option, it would be 32/16.. What say you?😅

Got myself a Fuji Feather and I'm so glad I did. My previous SS was okay but I wanted to go minimalist. I was a little concerned the gear ratio might be too high as I'm use to around 2.2, but this bike flies and for some reason I find hills easier too.

What's up everyone I'm feeling a little under the weather due to someone Breaking into my vehicle and stealing my stuff Could use some positive vibes and energy Take care!
