Yea, but still, the system is old and I don't really like the gear changing, so I want to make a single-speed bike, but since fixed gears are better for long, straight distances than normal single speed, i decided to make a fixie
For those who needed a picture. But I don't get what is the all fuss about. As I understand I just need to get a fixed gear rear hub, new rear wheel and possibly a new chain. Or I understand it totally wrong?
here are the rear drop-outs. Dunno how this helps, but I figured that showing it wouldnt hurt
Could you recommended some not pricey, but reliable brands/companies that make good fixed gear hubs?
P.S. Don't think I am irresponsible bike owner lol . Its just that I got the bike in a bad condition and until now I had no intention on repairing/maintainancing it..
