Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

is this worth?

I got a set of shimano 600 hubs laced up to tubulars I haven't set them up for my bike but I was thinking maybe to try setting them up for a fg conversion with this:

I don't have the 300$ ^up to get some deep Vs with surly or formula hubs made up and was thinking is this a good enough alternative?

This way I can set up my bike for FG conversion without breaking the bank on a new wheelset.

is it worth it?

$140 formula rear on Alex da28's handbuilt. Surly fixxer = waste of money. Especially on tubular rims.

yah for a set that comes out to 280$ plus tax, pay th same amount for a set of velocity deep Vs (i know its the aesthetics of it) but I'm trying to be practical here and use what I have.

Please explain why the surly fixer is a waste of money instead of just saying its a waste of money. And why is especially a waste on tubular rims?
