That it doesn't work so well because of the low inerta of the wheel...? Yeah, but I reckon I can put up with that occassionally - I'll only be riding it fixed for a few 100k audaxes to get FWC points. TBH fixed doesn't really work too well when you live on the edge of the Peak District, hence why I'm after a kick-shift - I reckon I'd be riding it that way 90% of the time.
I asked the nice man at Moulton about fixifying it and rather than the "no" I expected, he said it's possible & it will work but they don't wholeheartly recommend it for the reasons above.
