So, i am building my first fixed gear. i'm using a surly 1x1 frame, and i am slowly acquiring and building it up. i plan on a flip-flop gear, 26 inch wheels (the frame being a mountain bike) with slicks, and a front disc brake, at least until i feel more comfortable with a fixy. so, my question is, why type of bars, moustache or bullhorn, and what are some of the preferred gear ratios of you fixed riders out there.

i'd go bullhorn if you're using a mtb frame, gearing i'd say 70" that means around 44x16 if you're using 26" wheels

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.
