Everyone was a newb once. Let's use this thread to help out those who are starting out on fixed gears and single speed bike.

Please post links to useful threads and websites related to fixed gear and single speed concepts. Do not post unless you have something constructive to add as this is a community resource thread. I will update the OP as others offer more links.

Thanks everyone.
