the affix hub i have bought one and built it onto a hallo rim first of all i will list the main problems
1.when twisted into fixed it has about a 2mm play so feels a bit like a slack[not that much of a problem]
2.i think it uses an abnormal type of cog so changing gear ratio could be harder[again not that much of a problem because you could just get a new chainring]
3.this in my opinion is the biggest problem the price 170 pounds[ one way to get round this that is get good contacts in the bike world in other world bike shop owners]
now for the upsides
1.changing from fixed to free no longer means carrying tools
2.you only need to put it on once so when changing from fixed to freewheel
is just a twist away3.its easy just push and twist
4.it looks good in my opinion
- it spins well and is smooth
in my opinion it is probably the cleverest component on the market[apart from those cool bamboo track frames on ebay]
my final word is go out and buy one
- it spins well and is smooth

The hub is not worth the money there is play in it so when riding fixed there is a definite slop in the chain and when changing direction the cranks move about 1 or 2 cm and for some reason mine engages the freewhel after about 1 mile of riding fixed
Please don't buy this if you want to ride fixed for more than a mile like most of us do.
But other people may have had different experiences but people ride fixes for simplicity rlthis defeats the object.
Just my opinion.
