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)

(Quoted from site) REAR FLIP/FLOP HUB comes with freewheel side and on the other side you can add a fixed gear cog.


So, it has a singlespeed option with a freewheel. But if you want to ride fixed, you must purchase a COG and Lockring. Its like 30$ for both of those things together.


And if you ever post a question this dumb again your banned from the boards for life. I have this kind of power.

but seriously..

to make it fixed take it to your local bike store and get a simple surly/duraace type cog and matching lockring. if you ask if they can make it fixed they will know what you mean.

Dude, chill out...
To the poster: the hub is Flip/Flop, which means although there is a freewheel on one side, a simple cog and lockring can be thrown on the other, and you can ride fixed. Might wanna do some research before you go pulling the trigger.

... Are you trying to rack up post count or something? The question is answered, no need to linger around and comment stupid ****.

WHY ARE PEOPLE SO EFFING STUPID?
