Names and faces to bikes

Smart move getting those hubs.

Chain half-links, or even a half-link chain (hubjub.com sell both, as should your local bike shop) will help.

If your going for 'real' pedals (rather than SPDs etc) and worried about pedal strike then MKS GR9s are really narrow. I run them in a fixed conversion for this reason and I really like 'em.

Thanks.

It would be even smarter if the bloody hub (plus cranks/cog/lockring) would turn up grrrrr. It's 2 weeks since I ordered them. The delay wasn't a problem but I've since finished the bike apart from building the back wheel/drivetrain so this is holding me up now. :(

I got a KMC chain and half-link from here

Pedals are Shimano M324 SPD/cage combo types. Not sure if they're ideal (?) but even if not they'll do until I get going. I've got SPD-SLs on my roadbike but they're more of a cnut to clip into so might not be the best for a first foray into fixed.
