AAArrr hello Turpe so I have experienced a few probs as I am putting on my SPD's today I just thought I check in with control tower fixie. Symptoms: hard efforts results in skipping? ie If I am going up a steep hill the cranks skip and its like the chain has come off+If I am doing a skid a similar thing happens again+also when starting off sometimes the cranks slip for a pedal strokes or 2 before finding traction So I guess the cog is slipping?

 So I used that trick of wrapping the chain inside itself and the wheel did move back a bit. Also I have a lockring tool now, and by placing the bike upside down, holding the lockring tool against the frame and twisting the wheel clockwise I found there was quite a bit of play before it tightened up. So assuming I keep doing this perodically I shouldn't get any more slips? Snarble just doesn't want to go into a skid at 20mph behind a car and cling faceplant whilst locked in.
