fixed

Built this up over the last month. Frameset only took 3 weeks to arrive. Done around 120miles on it so far, takes on the Cornish hills quite well.

Wanted 56 cm 1 Wheel Drive Trike or Frame. Must have an eccentric BB boss to facilitate Fixed Wheel chain adjustment

I’ve just bought a second hand Giant Bowery fixed/single speed (flip flop hub) bike and was looking for any advice/ tips on riding the bike, I’ve never ridden fixed but always wanted to give it a go. Also any opinions on the bike itself, anyone ridden a Bowery? Thanks all in advance. Edit - the...

I've often wondered what it would be like to ride a fixed gear bike. The gear that it's fixed in, would it be comparable to, say, the third gear on a 3-speed Sturmey Archer, for example. Can you change it to a geared bike by adding a cassette, or is the rear forks too narrow at the bottom?

I bought a cateye 400xc which fits ok on my brompton M handlebars and can stay in place during a fold. But the default rubber strap is useless. Maybe its the roads I ride on, or the smaller wheels and lack of suspension - but within a few minutes its pointing at the floor. Is it possible to get...

I'm looking to sell my 1960s BSA Goldcrest, on which I completed a fixed gear conversion last Summer. 57cm frame (22.5"), I am 5'9" and it fits me nicely with the saddle to bar drop pictured. There's definitely plenty of room to drop the saddle for shorter riders, much taller and it will be a...

Evening, Just acquired an old steel fixie, from a friend. Its not a specific brand or model but the paint is in a sorry state. I thought of respraying it and changing the colour from a bad red to something more relaxed and lighter. The taking it apart bit isn't hard but not sure of the...

The PF30 on my Boardman CX Team has been annoying me for the last 2786 miles, creaking like a whatsit. The original lasted 7000 miles before rusty balls destroyed it, and since fitting, and refitting, and refitting again, I have never been able to get the new one to run quietly. After some...

OOPS.......just realised there is a specific section for fixies. Mods feel free to move or eliminate this. Serious question. Feel free to answer whether you or for or against but I am really interested in knowing WHY. The only one I ever tried was 50 years ago.........that one didn't allow you...

I want to do a track taster this year but I'm hopeless at riding fixed. I'm spoilt by years and thousands of miles riding freewheel singlespeed (vastly superior) and every time I ride fixed I stop pedalling at some point and almost get thrown down the road. Should I persevere with SPDs or try...

someone posted ages ago a video of some riders racing to the sea , love to find it again

My current fixed wheel bike is a Bianchi Pista. It has very steep frame angles, is made of chromoly steel and has 25mm tyres running at 105 psi (rear) & 95 psi (front). I've had it years but it's becoming increasingly uncomfortable for me as I get older. I've made some adjustments such as...

Fed up of the weather already, plus want to get back into it after injury, so toying with using a Turbo. Just interested in the differences between the type where you use the wheel to turn a roller and the type where you remove the wheel and connect to a cassette fixed directly to the trainer...

Perhaps it can develop into a useful resource for those of us with Garmins, so would prefer it not to descend into a garmin vs.....whatever thread. So far Garmin support has not managed to solve a single issue I've had, so here are the problems I've solved myself. This is for an Edge810...

A cyclist has been charged following a fatal collision with a pedestrian. Details are scant, but it appears Charlie Alliston hit Kim Briggs as she used a pedestrian crossing in Old Street, central London. Ms Briggs died 'about a week later' in hospital. The charge 'causing bodily harm by...

Ok need some help I've always rode a geared bike but quite like the look of the fixed or single speed bikes. Would they be any use for commuting? (It's hilly but not ridiculously hilly) Any advice welcome also can use you use clips with them? TIA

I promised myself that if I completed the Liverpool-Chester-Liverpool 100 I'd reward myself with a fixed wheel build. And being an optimist I picked up this Falcon Cotswold frame a few months ago... It's in pretty nice condition and cost £40, which seems reasonable. I think the "Elswick...

I've been on a few group rides where one or more people have turned up on a fixed-gear bike. I've admired the simplicity of the set-up and how they've just plugged along without a care, even up, over, and down hills, and I've always imagined that such a bike would be hard to control on a steep...

I threw this gas pipe special together with a pair of cycle speedway wheels and tyres, new chains cables and brake blocks and some random bits from the garage. Today fitted a half link chain which allowed be to bypass the chain tension jockey. Also a fixed sprocket! Just need to sort the...

I like this Click

See more images here. My 2016 Fuji Feather, 58 cm Frame in black is for sale. It's only been ridden ~50 miles. I'm selling up as I would prefer the money to go towards a touring bike which I am building. I'll be able to supply the original documentation and receipt for warranty purposes...

After a bad accident a couple of years ago. I had to give up my road bike as the position was too uncomfortable for my shoulder' I have recently started riding my Hybrid again but would like to put a suspension fork on. Partly for comfort and partly because I hang a dslr and a couple of lenses...

Just a toe in the water to see if there would be any takers for a 100 mile fixed ride out of Leeds sometime in the new year. I've not done any planning yet regarding a possible route or anything like that but if interest is shown I'll do a bit of work.

After a busy year on fixed-wheel last year, including an AUK SR series and Paris-Brest-Paris, I have hardly touched it this year, apart from rides to the pub. That is, until this weekend. Having been asked to accompany a friend on her first 300k for 13 years, I thought I'd make a slow ride a...
