Im gonna start off by saying that Im totally new here(obviously) and new to singlespeed/fixed gear bikes as well. I've been riding BMX for 10 years, but never anything else.

A friend of mine is donating me his bike(an SE 700c Draft), and while I know it's a cheap, kinda crappy(or so it seems) bike, it's free and it would be sweet to have something to cruise around town and to/from work on so Im gonna ride it until I have some $$ to dump into something nicer.

I have a Profile cassette hub(9t) and a spare 25t sprocket. In theory I could lace this hub to a wheel and use the 25/9 gearing correct? My main concern is that the hub might be too wide for the frame...


Would this work?! My only real reason for wanting to try this is to make use of some parts I have laying around, and that it would look pretty sweet and I've never really seen it. Unless Im just living in the dark(totally possible). Or would there be any other way to run 25/9 gears?


Thanks!
