I'm going to be making my first fixie from an old frame I've got. Due to lack of tools and expertise I was going to buy a new wheel rather than changing the hub of an old wheel and then redishing. Is there a new rear wheel (700c) that you'd recommend or one someone is looking to sell? Are there different sizes/types of lockring dependant on your hub and choice of sproket? I have a chain for 52/16 gearing which is 1/8". I'm sure you've all been asked these questions but my poor attempts with the search bar weren't much help. I don't mind spending around £100 on the rear wheel (with lock ring & sprocket) but am reluctant to spend much more having only had a few goes on friends bikes. Can you guys help?
