i did mine with a hacksaw, a dremel and then by hand with sanpaper to smooth. shouldnt be hard to cut off. be careful not to dig into the tubing if your using a hacksaw.

you could leave them on, that way when the old geared bike revival comes round in about 5 minutes, you'll be well-placed to convert the 'fixie' you found on ebay.

who knows, one day you might ride further than five miles and find that braze-ons are quite useful.

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.
