  • My knees have finally convinced me to convert my fixie to SS.

    Naïve question but in terms of parts am I right in thinking all I need is a freewheel, such as the Halo Clickster (https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/freewheels/16-halo-clickster-332-inch-single-freewheel/) to replace the fixie sprocket? I'm running a 17t and plan to continue to do so. Photos of current setup included in case they're helpful.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Oh, and yes, I will also be adding a rear brake, and actually a new front one too as the venerable Weinmann Type 500 that's on the bike currently isn't great.

    Depends on the riding you do I suppose but I’d always gear down at least a little on a freewheel. You don’t have to worry about spinning out on descents so might as well make climbing a bit easier.
