I ride bmx now, mostly street and light park, and I just can trust those skinny single walled rims that trackbikes and single speeds usually use.
No one has mentioned it yet, so in case you don't know
http://sheldonbrown.com/fixed.html has most anything you could want to know about converting a bike to fixed gear.
