Wanted 20" fixed gear wheelset

Posted on
  • Wanted 20" fixed gear wheelset. I want to convert my folding bike into a fixie but finding a rear fixed wheel is proving to be a bit difficult. Please help !
    Cheers

  • I thought about doing this but with such small wheels wouldn’t pedal strike be an issue?

  • Only if the pedals are afixed to the hubs.

  • There's this:

    Just a rear wheel but quite cheap

  • Chris, have you got a rim? I have a 32h hub so could build it up for you? Only issue is that it will need to be posted either way as I'm in Devon

  • It will depend on which folder Chris is using. If it’s an awesome Raleigh Twenty that has a 114 dropout...

  • Hmmmm steel frame might flex enough for 120mm track spacing. Maybe find some thinner lock nuts to shave a mil or so off.

    Anyway the offer is there, just pay or provide the parts and I will build for no extra charge.

  • It is doable on a Twenty but some have 110 dropouts....

  • I’ve got some 20” Halo bmx rims laced to Surly ultra new hubs (100/120 spacing) I put together for this exact purpose. Only the front has a brake track. No longer needed as have a Brompton for my now longer commute. Only issue is that they’re in my office in London (and I live in Herts.) so will likely be a while before I can get them.
