I've now sorted out my two identicle back wheels with different setups.. One has a 16T freewheel which rides wonderfully smoothly, and feels like 4 gears in one on the hills/flat.
Then today i recieved a 15T fixed and put it on the other wheel, with a bottom bracket screwed up with it.. It seems pretty tight.
Riding home was very strange, lots of moments of half panic, you never realise how you coast whenever you sense you might need to stop or slow.. Haven't managed skids, but with bone dry roads it might not be easiest time to learn... after getting off my legs feel like they want to be turning.. very strange.
Anyway, i'll post some pictures of it soon..
