This is the kind of discussion discussion I am looking for. Thank you.
So, in thinking this through, it seems as though this set-up would be less forgiving. I wonder if keeping up on greasing the bearings and keeping water out would ensure a long life. Never letting grease dry out, wear out etc. etc.
Oops, I was caught in an editing moment. No worries that you wanted fixed gear specifically & not single speed. Fair enough.
It's not an issue of grease & contaminants, but of service life & metallurgy/metal fatigue.
Interested in seeing how this turns out.
