There is a screw on adaptor which is supplied by HED and some guy on evil-Bay, but they dont work. Although they come with a lock ring to secure the cog to the adaptor body, the adaptor itself is not secured to the wheel thus if you execute a skid, it still unscrews itself. Thus " to convert these to fixed just takes a bit of time." doesn't really tell the whole story.
Just sharing with fellow forumers of the available options and the risks. I have a pair of Specialized (previously with same screwed on Sach-Maillard 7 speed), tried the above and was not too happy with the results. Currently only running the front and leaving the rear at home. Not wanting to risk my life skidding with it. Best of luck with the sale!
