Going to be building up my first ever fixed gear and as I have never rode fixed in my life I was wondering if there is anything I should know. Like how easy is it to adapt to fixie riding, what would be the best ratio to start. Anything really as I guess its going to be a lot different to riding a 'normal' bike. Any advice welcome.

Thanks

Saddle is the most important thing on your fixed gear bike. As you stop using your legs you will press against the saddle more than on the freewheeled bike. The contact with saddle will be stronger. Therefore make sure that you get the right saddle.
