Igloomaster, congrats on the new bike!!!
When you go fixed... remember the when walking the bike, the pedals still move!!!
If your going to flipflop, remember when your go freewheel. I freaked myself out that way. Riding fixed then jump on my SS mtb. Went to slow down, so I start putting back pressure. I started thinking "sh

the lockring/cog are toast" then quickly switched to "DRRRRR freewheel grab brakes".
