Will have a look, don't want to pay a lot though, I bought this bike on Ebay, I've done all the work on it myself including building a wheel without spending much at all. It's funny, you go out on a ride and carbon bikes with disc brakes and 50-60mm deep wheels are ubiquitous round here. My humble fixed has had so many comments from the aforementioned, the most common being "nice bike".

Agreed, never had mine slip either. it makes you wonder why anyone sells them, however, I live out in the sticks and Oct - Nov is hedge cutting time as in Hawthorn and Blackthorn and I ride a lot in the dark. In case of a puncture I carry a short 15mm spanner with me with which I cannot get the same amount of torque on the nuts, hence a single chain tug on the drive side for peace of mind.
