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)

Nope. Get a pair of Deep-Vs with a flip-flop hub and use the singlespeed side if you want.

If the Bike is for commuting or touring I personally would keep to more conventional wheels with a softer ride, if you are racing it then thats diferrent.

deep Vs have been set to implode if the use of the single speed side of the flip flop hub is used

Singlespeed bikes can also have heavy, unattractive wheels?
No.


Just playing, I have a pair of deep-v's.
The silver ones of course.
