  • Am I right in thinking that the older Langsters have a fixed/free hub as standard but the newer models have a fixed/fixed hub? Does anyone know what year they switched over? I know you can fit a freewheel on a fixed thread, but I'm not overly keen on that idea.

    I put freewheels on the fixed side, I can't see anyway this'll cause a problem (never has), and it makes it easier to get things off.

    If you're going to ride single-speed I'd buy a 07-11 (I think it was 11?) Langster, as these had "road" geometry, whilst the latest have "track" geometry, track bars (which you'll probably find uncomfortable and have to change. See the post further up this page), and track gearing (which you'll probably find to high, and have to change).
