Welcome

Hi everyone, this makes my third post so I can escape the nursery and roam free!

Hi

Got my first fixed gear today a Charge Plug Racer in silver all for £299 delivered 2010 model

Took it for a quick 6 mile spin once i flipped to fixed gear great bike nice ride these steel framed bikes really are smooth compared to my colnago cross bike.
I have just got to remember to keep peddling opps

Any advice on mastering fixed gear is welcome

Regards

Harpy

pedalling constantly becomes 2nd nature very soon if you ride it as your main bike for a while. don't try any serious hills up or down until you've had a few days aclimatisation. enjoy

Hey guys, I'm a noob to the forum but it's good to be here. I thought this would be a good place to start posting, so hello :)

Hi all I am new to the road cycling scene. I have mountain biked in the past but nothing serious. Just a quick hello

Hey, I'm living in Bristol at the moment but (grades permitting) will be moving up to Landan for uni in September, so thought I'd join here.

I'm going to miss our hills so so much.

Ehup one and all.
Newby here, collecting my 3-posts. Been in London a while now down from hilly Sheffield. I miss hills, aren't any proper ones here. Me and a mate got pulled over on Eccesall Road by a cheeky policeman with tall tales of overtaking racers in the Peaks, asking us about gear ratios and trying to sell us some track frames...

Hullo new member here finding my way around the forum! :) Quick intro: Live in Essex, work in London, bit of a roadie, bit of a trackie, love riding fixed, currently looking for a nice throwback project.

Wow it's been busy in here! Welcome everyone to the friendliest forum on the Internet!

Hi, my names alex and from near oxford, i am a COMPLETE newbie to the fixie scene, i don't even have a fixie, or know if this is something i want to get into. It all looks pretty fun, checked out the local blog and saw the stuff people do, with polo, tricks, cruising and sliding. I hope to get a fixie soon. I know nothing about fixies though so i might make a couple of dumb/useless posts, sorry.

just dont say "fixie" and you'll probably be fine

i'm already learning.

better?

They're officially called fixies so feel free to call them that.

Hello hello!

A newbie to fixie riding, or a pre-newbie actually, because my bike is actually in the hands of UPS still.

The main reason why I'm finding myself addicted to fixieinfo/videos/forums...

hi all just thought i would pop on and say hello.........
looks like a cool site
see you all soon

Hello :)

hi newbie to fixed here !!I am in west wales and I am wondering if i should have my look columbus 853 frame converted to fixed ? it has chrome rear stays !!!!ouch on the wallet!!

No, search for magic gear. or get an eno hub.

Hi, as andy.w says, the eno hub is a great bit of kit and searching for a magic gear can be a hassle and easier to change the sprocket. I have used one on different road bikes for last couple of years. Think the hub is about £120. really solid bombproof bit of kit.

thank you for your advice as i said i am a novice when it comes to fixed and what kit to use ! i have a cheap fixed at the mo i have had my look fram since 1999 ? it has been in my parents spare bedroom since .It is time to build it up and use it !! I really did not want to chop the rear end

And road riding but not so new to cycling, officially a mountain biker but having just recently moved into a town in Suffolk I found bouncing to and from work on 140mm suspension wasn't what I wanted to do everyday, I had an idea of building a fixed gear road bike but due to space and time I ended up buying a Obea dude A10 and absolutely love it, the fixed wheel is taking some getting used to, so if you see a all the gear and no idea rider cruising the streets of bury st Edmunds or Cambridge that will be me :-)

Not to be confused with the emo hub.
