Parts needed to convert from road bike to singlespeed/fixed gear
Hey! I know this is a noob question to ask but, I've recently just bought a fuji allegro and I was wondering what parts I would need to convert it into fixed gear/ singlespeed. A list would be nice. Thanks appreciate all the help.

Most likely all you'll really need is a rear wheel with a track hub to accomodate a fixed cog and lockring (and of course the cog and lockring). And probably a new chain. Check out https://www.sheldonbrown.com/ for way more info.
