Expert advice needed...
 

I was wondering if any1 could tell me all the components needed in a singlespeed bike :D

everything you need for a geared bike minus derailers shifters and thier associated cables and a bunch of chainrings and cogs. plus a chain tensioner possibly.

I think kingarmstrong is looking for a shopping list, to see what he has, and what he needs to get hold of... to make a fixie.

ONE complete bike MINUS some chain links, inner chainring, derailers, shifters, brakes (unless you're scared); PLUS track hub, cog and ultra-hip messenger bag (so you look cool outside the coffee shop, bar, show, et cetera).

ok, i'll bite:

frame
fork
headset
stem
handlebars
- possibly grips or tape
- possibly bar end plugs
seatpost
seatpost clamp
saddle
bottom bracket
crank arms
-crank arm bolts
chainring
-chainring bolts
chain
pedals
- possibly toe clips
- possibly straps
freewheel
wheelset
- hubs
- rims
- spokes
- possibly nipples
- rimstrips
- possibly skewers
- possibly track nuts w/ integrated washers
tires
brake levers
brake cables
cable housing
front and rear brakes
- calipers
- shoes & pads

Ok tyvm, jst wondering tho do singlespeeds actually pedal lik tricycles lik it says on sheldon browns website, if so how can u change it so it doesnt or cant u period?

uh, i'm not sure what you mean. i think you'll probably want a flip flop hub though if i'm understanding your question. a fixed gear doesn't let you freewheel, that means you can't coast. flip flop hubs are set up to allow you to ride fixed on one side and then flip the wheel over if you wanna ride singlespeed.

i'm not sure if i answered your question, but last time i rode a tricycle the pedals were on the front wheel, so coasting was impossible. i guess the first bike i ever rode was fixed technically.

ok kwl thnk u
