2026 Post your Singlespeed and Fixed Gear Thread

Every year someone refreshes this thread. You know the rules, singlespeed and fixed gear bikes only.

So, to get things moving, I’m posting my newest bike, which I received just a week ago. It is a Wabi Classic with 650B wheels and tires, which is my first ever singlespeed gravel bike. Normally, I would have purchased a Wabi Thunder to accommodate wider tires, but I’m too short to ride the smallest 49cm Wabi Thunder. Wabi now makes a smaller 45cm Wabi Classic frameset, which fits me properly. Wabi initially purchased Panaracer GravelKing SS+ 650B x 43 tires, and while they fit in the front, there was a clearance problem with the chainstays in the rear, so they found an alternative Teravail Cannonball Durable Casing 650B x 40 for the rear. Also, the brake calipers had to be changed to Tektro R559 long reach, which are also wider to accommodate the fatter tires. The cockpit consists of a Wabi riser handlebar, ESI Fatty’s grips and Dia-Compe Tech99 levers. Pedals are Wellgo SPD. Gearing is 44x18 (63.9 GI). Weight including two Wabi water bottle cages and a taillight is 21.1 lbs. Total cost was $1222.50.
