Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

You might want to consider a new chain as well - I took the one off mine and even with a decent chain tool it just refused to go back together, plus there are many stories of them snapping.

I reckon once you've replaced the BB and the chain everything would last a surprisingly long time. Like Andy says, have fun.

So it would appear that admitting i ride a unipack is forum suicide but I don't really care and if it means i don't get to join the "fixie elite" then all the better because riding is about having fun and getting away from all that bs!

Obviously the bike and components aren't top quality (the bottom bracket is shit and will only last a couple of weeks but it's easily replaced) but I wanted a cheap first bike that I could learn from, mess about with and customise.

I might be a newbie but so far I love riding fixed and joined this forum to speak to like minded people and learn a bit more about the bikes
