cheers ed good points, i cleaned it up last weekend and it runs very smooth - gears possibly need some fine tuning but its good as it is. haven't heard of the bike whisperer. the geared hub was due to commuting on a particularly sandy trail that chews through exposed components. it is a great bike especially for £25. i think a new cog on the flyer is a good call, i hadnt thought much about it but another fixed rider got chatting at some lights and said the ratio was on the high end. cheers for you help/advice
