I have published a few articles on building Single Speed bicycles, or better yet, converting a bicycle to single speed configuration. The procedure will apply to Fixed Gear also. Anyway, here's how to Build A "Single Speed"...

Before...





Word of caution! Fixed Gear bicycles are not for everybody. I have ridden a lot and do NOT like the feel of a fixed gear. With this in mind, and just in case you don't like the feel either, you might want to get a Flip-Flop hub which will allow a fixed gear on one side and a single speed freewheel on the other.
