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)

your best bet


you slide the bolt through through the brake bridge and then screw on the nut, you may need to use a spacer. I don't know how else to describe it

are you running a front brake? are you running fixed? If yes to both you don't need to put a rear brake on really

1) This is a Mechanical issue. Post such in the Mechanics sub-form.

2) Take the money you saved by buying online and use it to pay a bike shop to install it for you. Watch and pay attention.
