Fuji Track / Fuji Track Pro / Fuji Track Classic

decided to get the parts myself and put it together

Can use the HUB from the buckled wheel.

front wheel rim ( not sure what spokes it takes)

front fork

that going to work on my fuji track?

The only issue with the fork is that it's not threaded. The 2007 Fuji Track has a threaded headset, no?
I think I can see a hole for a brake calliper. Might need someone who has one to confirm though.That of course doesn't matter if you don't run with a brake.

Also I believe the hub which came with the 2007 model was a 32, so no issues with those mavics either.

the LBS says i need a new HS also

considering I didn't hit anything, im not sure why it would.

will one of these do the trick?

You did hit the floor though, with enough force to buckle a rim, which are surprisingly strong. Hold the frame and if there is any side-to-side movement with the forks.

got the bike back. held the frame, can't see anything wrong with the forks.

They wanted £150 to replace the forks with fuji stock parts, seems steep.

Anyway Just going to make myself a new wheel for starters now.

What spokes should I get for the rim?

out of interest who is you LBS?

ill slander them to the hilt if after running my new front wheel in i don't notice anything wrong with the front forks. till then ill give them benefit of doubt, they're not a specalist fixed wheelers - only went to them cos I wanted it fixed quick. ah.

What size spokeys?
yes im a noob at this.

You might have more luck asking in this thread:

I still reckon you should post a picture of the forks, it can take a 2nd opinion to see damage, especially when the forks are raked.

I have that headset on my mountain bike, and although it is good value (no complaints from me), it may look out of place on the fuji.

I am looking now at my mountain bike and my Fuji, and I can see that the scuzzy headset is far too chunky for the Fuji. I would try and find something a bit slimmer...

Just my 2cents.

Ain't gonna fit... you need 1" threaded fro the Fuji 2007....

humm.. think ill go one step at a time... build the front wheel first before I start messing with headsets and front forks.

Still in the dark as to what size spokes to get for that rim?
i guess its not a one size fits all sort of deal.

FFS...!! if you're not confident messing with headsets and forks i wouldn't want to ride any wheel you're gonna build... just buy and off the peg one... anyone...

£9... 37mins to go....

Thats cheaper then any rim from mavic, I say go for it.

point taken.

just missed it tho. nackers.

just got my fuji today - haven't had a chance to do anything with it other than look at it though :( I was planning on sticking a 17 tooth freewheel on the back as well as the stock fixed gear - mostly cos I think I need to get my fitness up a bit before I ride the 7 miles to work on a fixed - but from reading this I understand this might be a silly move? also, was going to stick a shimano tiagra and an old bmx lever on... what do people think?

Freewheel and a single brake is a silly move, yes.

haha alright, is it the single brake thats the prob? what would anyone suggest - I'm just slightly worried my legs can't continually go round all the way to work... 1) man up 2) rock two brakes for awhile....

^ Try doing a few shorter distances to see how you get on with fixed, you'll probably find that you'll be OK. But have a go first and see how you get on.

depends on how far your commute is and how much riding you've been doing. you will adjust to riding fixed fairly quickly, but if fitness is a real issue than maybe two brakes and a freewheel is the best bet in the short term.

one brake (with freewheel) doesn't give you enough stopping power really, especially in the wet.

sorry no, I meant to imply that running a SS with only one brake is a silly move.

ok i get you all... got it all set up this evening so ill go for a pedal in the morning... fitness isnt a serious issue at all, i ride bmx almost every day (well not so much now winter has drawn in), its just the 'new-ness' of a real sized bike, and a fixed gear that worries me slightly. fyi the commute is 7.9 miles according to google maps.

on a slightly different note (sorry for the barrage of n00b questions but as a n00b I'm not allowed to start threads!), one of the hills on the way to work is very countryside, very long and reasonably steep: If I was to stick with fix (having changed the current 48-15 to maybe 48-17/18) and on the downhill simply couldnt keep up with the cranks, what's the best emergency strategy?

your legs and the front brake (?)

what beefmaster said.

i recommend a 48-18 as a good versatile gear, btw. it's light enough to be nimble in traffic, but you won't spin out on the flats too much.
