A combination of hard starts and rotafixing did indeed sort it. So thankfully the chain doesnt seem to be the cause. Thanks a lot ffm

Thanks for your concern. Im riding it with brakes so my teeth are safe for now. Just flipped the hub to see if i get on with riding fixed. I tightened it all up but its still slipping. Guess i didnt tighten it enough. Pretty new to bike meddling........... I'll get my coat

Thanks so much FFM. It barely budges but thinking about it there is a slip back then slip forwards then slip back thing going on so what you're saying about the lock ring makes sense. The chain really hasn't had much wear and it doesn't feel like chain slip so I think its gonna be a shit loads of hills and some tightening. Thanks again for your advice

Further to my last post

I've read through this lengthy post and am still getting the problem of slipping when hitting a hill hard. I'm using this wheel:

The guy in my LBS won't accept it's slipping and I don't currently have the tools to break it apart and have a look myself - could anyone advise whether this thing has the right hub on? I'd imagined that anything sold as "flip flop" would have the correct threading on the fixed side.

Mr LBS said that because I'd run it with a freewheel and the fixed cog is brand new there might be some slippage from the combination of slightly (very slightly) worn chain and brand new cog and it would "settle in".

I'm taking it steady and run a brake but I do get unnerved when I feel the slipping when I'm hitting a hill (it only happens on really steep ones)

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere

Have a pashley tandem for sale. I see it most days whilst trudging into work at bradford uni. They're a charity and sell bikes at bargain prices. Its a lovely looking thing but ive not got the time to buy and restore it. I think a pic of it will pop up on their website soon.

Anyway, jus' sayin'

I've seen this on ebay
