Was cool for learning to stop, but is really way too slow for me even after just a couple of days... I just ordered a lock ring tool and a a couple of smaller cogs!
Also, if you dont have toeclips... you will want them with fixed gear.

Thanks for the info!
Yeah i definitely will need some form of foot retention, but i guess one step at a time. Excuse my inexperience but what does a lock ring tool help you do? switch out different cogs easier? or is it just something that you need for a fixed cog period? But that sounds like a good idea going a few sizes higher, thanks for the help.
