Gearing up for another stab at fixed.
Briefly tried it years ago, time for round 2.
18t SS and 18t fixed in place so need to cut down the chain from running a 18-22 set up.
Worth noting, the Sturmy Archer 22t freewheel has a different spacing removal tool spacing to the tool that works with Shimano and Dicta freewheels, only one of four spurs will fully engage when trying to undo one.
If you get Sturmy Archer freewheels, worth getting the SA tool as well, or get creative with a lump hammer.
Might transfer all bits to a larger 501 frame i have, give it a whirl, but sure i could get away with a 56 frame, using a 58 and have a 62 kicking about.
I fancy something newer for summer just need to work out what and what size. :)
