I've bought a bike from ebay as I have been unable to sort out/strip/renovate my old crappy frame. I'll probably keep the old frame and persevere and beg people to help, but the new one was a bargain, in my humble opinion.
Anyway, to get to the point: my old bike was single speed and I'm thinking riding fixed in future.
Here's the question: Are flip flop hubs a good idea as I'm unsure if I'm going to like riding fixed? Or is a flip flop hub more expensive/not as good/umm.....
Should I just make my mind up before I get the wheels? I would try someone else's first but my friend's bikes are too big.
