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)

Don't let the buyer know! They might think it'll work.

A freehub?
As in the kind where the freewheel mechanism is built into the hub?
How in the hell would any kind of attachment allow that to become a fixed gear?

Note:
"The Fixxer allows you to convert any Shimano cassette hub (except Silent Clutch, 2004 Dura Ace or pre-1997 Dura Ace) into a true fixed-gear."

How much would one of those run?
Might it be cheaper to buy a new hub...?

I've never even looked at those bad boys.
All my bikes have wheels with 32 spokes.

If anyone Buys from the forum buys that wheelset, make sure you have a buddy with a video camera the first time you try and skid; i want to watch.
