The aesthetics of single speeds is pretty fun, but...The aesthetics of single speeds is pretty fun, but compared to my road bike is seriously lacking in utility. So, one project that I have in mind would involve getting a Mercier TT single speed from Bikesdirect, and at some point in the future install an

I just finished building a Kona Paddy Wagon and with the great Indian Summer weather have been fortunate enough to get some riding in. Its got brakes but I'm running it in fixed gear mode because thats what I wanted to try hoping to maybe get back to a minimal look. Plus I ride on the street. This is my first single/fixed ...

The one exception was a thread about coaster brakes. Does a single speed mass marketed "Big Box" ...

Excuse my lack of knowledge. I think "freewheel" is the term for a rear hub that's to be used with a cassette. Either way, I'm trying to figure out what to use. I want to make my '07 P2 a single speed. Should I use a single speed hub or a "cassette" type with a single speed kit on it? I'm leaning towards a Phil Wood single speed hub, a good freewheel, 36x 14 gauge spokes crossed 4 ...

Has anyone used a I9 single spped wheel for a X5 set up? I have a King set up as a 1x6 using the modified cassette from Jeff Jones and a Shadow rear derailleur but I can't find a combination including the above that will work on the I9. The Sram lower 5 cluster fits the hub but nothing I've tried so far will shift past the cogs.
