Can I convert a Singlespeed to Fixed Gear?

Don't let me stop you.

Yes. Just try it if you don't like it after a few weeks change back.

OK, but how do I do it?
Do I need to get any parts? Any other parts?

You need dropouts that allow you to adjust chain tension, and a hub threaded to accept a fixed sprocket and a lockring.

What's your starting point?

go to Brick Lane Bike, or Brixton Cycles, ask them to build you a fixed wheel for your bike (it'd be helpful for them if you bring your bike).

£50ish is what you need to spend.

I have no clue whether you can simply take off your freewheel and screw on a fixed sprocket - or maybe your chain tensioner doesn't allow this, or maybe the freehub you converted to SS won't allow this ?

Who knows !?

(clue: you)

Unipak ? Can you take a close up photo of the rear hub/sprocket/dropouts.

just take the rear brake off and don't stop pedalling so it feels like it's fixed gear

Dude, your in norway and spent real money on getting a unipack sent over?

thats some crazy shit man.

I think I'll let the guy know that i dont want his "shit"...

It looks like it's not worth the dough...

KROOZ'

not only does it look like it's not worth the dough. It isn't.

DEFINITELY not worth the dough.

Also, the hubs on those bikes do not have a lockring thread.
