So right now i'm riding a carbon kestrel road bike, and i want to get into fixed gears, for variety, and to improve my cadence/speed.
My first question, would it be cheaper to do a conversion, or build it from the ground up?
Second, my city has some pretty rough roads, and i was wondering, do wheels with plastic/carbon spokes resist bending more? If not, what purpose do they serve?
Thanks for helping out an ignorant beginner!
