Building My First Fixie - Need Some Help

complience Well of course it would be cheaper to buy no bike at all.. but thats not the point.

I guess i was thinking to spend maybe £100 notes and willing to go up to £200 if needs be..

I had hoped all i needed was a set of cranks and a cog for the back wheel, but ive been corrected now :P

I'm really confused by the whole back wheel business.. what do i need exactly?

thanks for all your help again.

your wheel needs to have a track hub. this means it's got a thread going one direction for the sprocket, and one going the other direction for a lockring to stop the sprocket from unscrewing itself.

so you can buy a whole new wheel, or just use your rim on a new hub.

you could also run a suicide hub using your existing hub, but only if it's threaded. you can convert a cassette hub, but it's not really worth it.

it's all on sheldon brown's website. give it a read.
