DIY fixie thread?

[xHOBOPHOBIAx]

Wasn't there a thread about building a fixie setup with basically spare parts? I have been searching for close to half an hour now.

thanks, so guess i would have to get a track cog. i was hoping that it was something that i just happened to have laying around.

I built one by removing all the sprockets on a freewheel exept one of the middle ones and then tacked the freewheel solid. I didn't know if I would care for a fixed gear bike so I wanted to go super cheap to find out. I didn't like it so it has been sent to the back of the garage to await another stroke of genius.

Cameron, you still have the Hipster?

Bring it to the Swap! who knows, maybe it will sell?

I loaded it up in the trailer on Sunday. You can take it for a spin and decide if that is what you really want for the Screamin' Injun.

I dunno, the more I look at Randy's Schwinn Speedster, the more I want it.

Maybe the Indian will be for sale????

personally i dont like the idea of fixed gear, but if i could try it for free i was going to, i might try jb welding a sprocket to a lock ring or something and give it a whirl.

For some reason I've really been wanting to do a fixed cog rear wheel with a shimano freewheeling chainring on the front. Then some sort of disc brake caliper can clamp onto the chainring for braking. Just because its kind of backwards I guess.

thats what schwinn did in the 70s and 80s. so if you swapped out the front sprocket and the crank to a normal setup, would it be a multi-gear fixie? :lol:
