I'm currently looking at buying a 2nd hand TT bike that has semi-vertical drops. I'd like to convert it to fixed and I'm pretty sure that it's possible - I just wondered if anyone has any experience with them and can cast some light on how it might be done. Surly Tensioner? Half link? Filing?

The reason for our affection is that The ENO enables you to make any bike into a fix. It doesn't matter if your favoured frame has vertical dropouts.

As long as you have 1/2 an inch of backwards axle movement, you'll be able to use any gear you want. The eno hub will be perfect, but it is quite pricey. may need 2 use half link...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
