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)

READ!!!

(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.
