Apologies for asking so early into my stay, but I'm building up my first fixed-gear and I am in need of some bits, currently:

Wheels! Front and rear, fixed rear hub, naturally, got a sprocket and lockring on their way. If anyone has either or both going that'd be great!

Also looking for a crankset, 48t preferably, for use with 1/8 chain, and a **threaded headset, **on the offchance someone has one going spare that they'd like to sell.

Cheers,

Jack

I've got a rear wheel (fixed hub) that I bought off the forum a while ago but never used. It spins straight and even has a tyre and inner tube on it. £25? If you're interested I'll take some photos and measurements..

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

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