ok so I want to build a fixie and just want some advise
I have an alex 9 speed back wheel, if i want to make that a fixe back wheel is it possible to just remove the 9 speed cog and put on a fixed one with a lock ring ?, i also have a single speed back weel would it be possible to do the same with that, or would that be a better option, i.e lining up the the chain line
and one last question regarding cranks, can i use any cranks on a fixie or do I need to get a fixed chainring or new cranks altogether
oh btw I looked up sheldon but they he didn't go into datail about cranks or converting a wheel
any help greatly appriciated
cheers
