I managed to throw a chain on Sunday, which jamed the rear hub and basically totally threaded the fixed side. I'm currently riding on the freewheel part, but I cannot figure out if I can just remove the freewheel and put a normal sprocket there. Does anyone know ?

All I could find on the hub is that it's threaded to accept a track cog and lockring on one side, threaded for a single-speed freewheel on the other.

You'll be able to run a suicide set-up*, that's all

i.e. The freewheel side of the hub is not double-stepped, so there is no place for the reverse threaded lockring which you have on the fixed side. Hence then "suicide".

Mate, you have no luck with bikes. I did the same but it didn't thread anything, just jammed my back wheel in the middle of a box junction - nice!

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
