Continuing from earlier post the Pace is now a fixed gear.
Work done;
Replace RC35 fork bridge with Mavic brake caliper adjuster
Fit Mavic Aksium (700c) wheel donated by road bike
Replace Maguras with Avid Shorty canti's on front with Cane Creek reverse lever
Replaced old stem with quill to ahead converter plus Oval 120mm stem.
Bullhorn aero bars with Mavic tape
Middle and granny rings removed from Middleburn RS7 chainset (kept 46 tooth outer)
Standard dropouts replaced with horizontal ones
Rear wheel built by Arup from DMR 135mm disc brake hub and CXP 22 rim
18T Velosolo cog bolted onto disc brake mount.
Current set up gives me 67 gear inches, hopefully after a little practice I can drop the rear to a 17T which I think gives me 71 inches.
Anyway feels pretty strange at the moment but hopefully I'll get the hang of it!!
