ok so im new at the fixie side of things... today i put clips and straps on a fixie that had only cheap plastic clips.. that did nothing... anyway im riding and i go to push down and pull up ... using the new straps... and i felt the crank or something slip... now this is not my bike its my friends who "doesnt have time to ride any more" so he let me borrow it... so what the heck is going on???? should i stop riding his bike to prevent breaking something.. i love these bikes and i bought a entry level fuji track just to get my feet wet.... so should i just wait till it gets here and give his bike back... he gave it t me as a loner till my bike gets here... what should i do and what is going on with his bike? thanks sorry if i sound hella newb.

were up pedaling forward or trying to stop when this happened?

ah ha thanks so much!! the hub is a suzue, the cog is a dura ace... or just the lock ring is i cant really tell... i guess ima take it down to the lbs and see what they can do for me! thanks again! hope my new bike doesnt do this!

so... i took it to the lbs today that deals with nothing but ss and fixie... black sheep cycles... and ended up my friends lockring was just hella loose so he tightened everything down really well and i was riding with it the next hour.. also i built a bike rack for the inside of my scion xb!!! it holds two fixies straight up... ill have pics soon! its amazing! thanks every one once again.

mine bikes slippin around too. suzue / dura ace as well
