How to flip your fixed/free wheel hub (day 16)

[dwcubatch83]

too bright - could you dim the camera a little bit more please!

[xsjadodude64]

so pretty much this is a waste ?

[kcnirva]

Maybe HER bolts are reverse threaded, but as this is supposed to be a tutorial, the video maker should look at the rest of the world, which uses normal threaded bolts. That means clockwise = tightening; counter clockwise = loosening.

@kcnirva nigga is you retarted? all of them are reverse thread. lmao

[breissberg]

How do I get the chain off the cog cleanly

[AzNxX22]

too blurry no help -_-

[GhostReconRepublic]

would be helpful if the camera was zoomed in, the blaring music turned down and the people in the background shut up.!!!

[palndrom23]

Could you move the camera further away from the bike please?

[majorpainful]

what a stupid video. assholes.

[artietang]

I would also watch out sometimes fixed cogs on a flipflop hubs requires a singlespeed chain.

[davedono]

the bolts are reverse threaded. this is so that the bolt doesn't unscrew while in motion. settle down. she's right.

[jvmarino]

So does the cog just come of when you pull the wheel off?

I Can't really see what this person is doing. please someone post a video response with viewable details.

fixed gear bikes are usually pretty light, and can go pretty fast if you have the right gear ratio for your road conditions, but overall a good road bike should be faster over more varied terrain. of course, a good road bike will cost you thousands of dollars more than a good fixed gear bike..

I was riding my mountain bike, and a few road bicyclist zoom by with ease, my next goal is to buy a road bike. any recommendations? I saw a bianchi for 599 forgot what specific type though

[thejonitor]

a single speed bike is the same except there is a freewheel on the rear, allowing you to coast (move forward without pedaling), but you lose the ability to control speed with your feet. riding with less than 2 brakes on a SS bike is pretty dangerous.

[captainm06]

can you explain to me about free gear bicycles? I see at school people ride them, but I don't understand, isn't faster with gears or am i wrong?

[thejonitor]

fixed gear bikes have a single speed and no freewheel, the rear tired and the pedals are locked together, so if either one moves forward or backwards, so does the other. this allows you to brake with backwards pressure on the pedals, but forces you to pedal very fast to maintain speed, say if you're going downhill. some ride brakeless (not recommended), most ride with a front brake (sufficient), some ride with 2 brakes (some call it overkill).

[citizenstand]

i'm tempted to make my bike a single speed.
