Forum: Singlespeed & Fixed Gear

Hi All :) First post on here and i hope i don't annoy anyone by asking loads of newb questions :| I've been watching from a distance with regards to Fixed gear and reading loads of stuff about how to convert bikes into a fixed. I think i'd rather learn more that way than start with an...

Hi i'm a new member here I'm a college student in Gainesville and I'm just looking for a low priced single speed bicycle for cheap. My budget is about 200$ and I would like a clean looking bicycle. Don't really need gears as I just need it to get to and from school and don't really want anything to...

Haha, check out the "OREC", or The Official Rules of the Euro Cyclist. (via BikeSnob, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=info&gid=2258201150) Obvious satire, but fun nonetheless :thumb:

ive been reading around trying to find all the pro's and cons of deep rims, and im not finding very focused answers. so....does anyone here know the merits of deep rims, i hear trick riding a whole lot, but thats not what im into....i weigh about 210 and i ride on the street. are these b43's or...

Background: After a frustrating ride involving my wheel being pulled off center a few times, I have decided that I want to get a pair of chain tugs. I have already decided that the tuggnut and MKS tugs are a little too $$$$ for my townie bike so now I am down to the generic part or BMX part. My...

I would google this, but i want to hear personal opinions. http://www.affinitycyclesstore.com/index.php?action=frame&view=frame3&ar=metropolitan

i've been commuting on my windsor clockwork SS for over a year now, and to date i have replaced every single part on the frame except for the crankset. everything. i'm looking for something in the $100 range that's 46t and tough. also, does anyone know the bb length that would be required....

Hey everyone, Here is my old thread that I created looking for info http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?617030-A-Rough-Diamond-Perhaps&highlight= I thought I would give you guys an update seeing as you were all so kind and helpful. Some of you may remember that it is ridiculously hard...

Loving my !973 Raleigh conversion! Some kid one day just gave me the frame. All it needed was wheels I couldn't believe it! Loving it! My beater fixie. I have a 2008 Langster London that I baby and just take out to ride for speed. Increased the chain ring to a 46 and a 13 inch cog on the...

looking for a good 650c strong for tricks. makers?

ive been riding a fixed gear for about 1 year, i like going fast but i have toe overlap so it depletes my ability to do some tricks. im looking for a good frame for a 650c front wheel or can barspin with a 700c good for tricks ,but it can still go fast aswell, and my toe clips WILL NEVER hit my...

am i the only one who finds it odd that while there are women-specific mountain and road bikes, there are no women-specific track bikes? or if there are any, please let me know! i wonder, though, how women professional track racers get their bikes... whether they get their bikes custom built or...

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p230/acoustophile/bars.jpg they kind of look like townie bars but (maybe it's just the angle) they look like they have sharper bends.

Anybody know what they usually are? I have a late 90s Watanabe and my 27.2 seatpost won't fit, so it's definitely smaller than that. But the question is, 27.0 or 26.8? and I'm not paying the lbs just to find the size...

I bought the S3X wheel set with Alex Sub rims that was on sale in December. I didn't want a whole wheel set, as I run a hub generator on my front wheel, and I'm not interested in setting up my main commuting bike without lights. I waited a while before finally installing the rear wheel on my...

Hi all I was going through the pictures in the gallery and I noticed that quite a few do not have front brakes and / or rear. Is is because these single speeds have fixed gears? I notice they do not have coasters on them. thank you

It's a work in progress. I wanted one of these frames from the first time I saw one and finally got my hands on a 61. Crankset is a Record road crank paired to a Rocket ring. Dropbars are Origin 8's. I'd eventually like to get a real Record Pista crank and change out the wheelset but that will have...

I'm putting my new bike together and i'm trying to even out the chain tension. I know what i'm supposed to do with loosening ring bolts and then micro adjusting the tension, but it doesnt work. I checked and the chainring seems to be free of wobble, the cog has zero wobble, but there is still a big...

I'm interested in what type of gym training anyone on here does. I've been going to the gym about 4-5 times a week since about September '09, thought taking off about 3 weeks during winter break. I took a weight training class in high school so I've just kind of been going with that, but I was...

I've been trying to adjust the angle of the Brooks Swift I have installed on my current bike. I currently have the nose tilted slightly upward but I've noticed a little discomfort lately with this setup. I tilt the nose down and tighten the bolt but the nose goes back up to the way it was before....

I am new, don't know much about Bikes. I'd like to get a fixed, but was unsure on the difference between the base Kilo tt and the Kill tt pro? Bikes direct says its the wheels, chain, ect...but how much of a difference is this really? I am going to use the bike for commuting from school and...

Ok, first of all, I know this is mostly for SS/FG road bikes, but I thought it would be more appropriate to post this question here than the MTB sub-forum. I am building up a Monocog Flight. For the time being, I'd like to use the wheelset from my Monocog 29er until I decide on a decent set for...
