Spinergy wheel for fixie?
Is it possible to convert a Spinergy freewheel hub to a fixie? Ghetto fix or otherwise? Thanks in advanced, HR.

a fixed spinergy sounds like a terrible idea.

They like to break like candy and then send those four spokes flying. If you search there is at least one thread in this forum on it, where it talks about dangers/poor quality control.

Here is more actual information, since all you've got is "they like to break like candy": https://pardo.net/bike/pic/fail-020/index.html

Once Again..
If you need a blinging carbon spoke fixed wheel buy a HED3... they are ~$400-700 and dont break.

Yeah HOLYROLLER... unless you're like an actual angel or something. I recommend not putting said exploding wheel on a bike. I the FURTHER don't recommend setting it up as a fix. Bad bad bad physics for that.
