    I am wondering if you will ever make a video on how to convert a multi speed road bike into a single speed or a fixie?

    Can you demonstrate how to convert a multi-speed mountain bike to single speed?

    I don’t know about where you live, but here there is a fix gear craze. I am not into it, but lots of people are. If you could do a video about setting up a fix gear I would be happy to share your site.

    How about how to build a single speed bike in parts and fitting new cables?

  5. Christopher on October 6th, 2009 4:56 pm

    Is there a way you could do a piece on building a fixed gear?

    I’m looking to turn my miyata 110 in to a fixed gear or a single speed but I have no clue how to go about doing it. My friend has done what he called pizza pan wheels… I think they are 27″ 1 1/4. would those ever fit on a Miyata? If not a tutorial but just a list of what I would need would be awesome.

    I would be interested to see a video about either converting a free wheel to a fix, or maybe just some general tips. Things to look out for, an example would be how to judge the proper chain tension or how to make sure your chain line is correct etc…
