[lucio53]

[gi0vanni888]

what if...ive taken to a bike shop to try to remove it but they couldnt because it was on their too tight? what are my next options? ...grinder? ...??

[qalaxyqboy]

Im trying to fix a broken down bmx and so far am having good luck with it

[georgeman21222]

as crazy as it sounds im trying to convert my trek mountain bike into a single speed, are there different speeds you can have for a single speed ? and what speed is that typically in ?

[Bluebirdvision91]

how about just tieing two flat head screwdrivers together and use a vice to turn them would that work

[eToSamY]

oo man thank's!

[ubernasch416]

if you are building a fixie, you can't just put it on there. the safest way is to just buy a wheel. there is however, the Suicide Hub. If you don't mind welding, using LocTite or JB Weld, then go right ahead. Just be very cautious.

[hagenar]

In the real world, freewheels that have been on since 1984 don't come off that easily.

[Arbi2er]

@hagenar true which is why im replacing my entire rear wheel. lol fucking suntour 2 prong freehweel. Who thought that was a good idea?

[hovercraftman1221]

@hagenar mine from last year wont come off

[teundilles]

[JKDspirit]

i cant fucking turn my freewheel tool its so damn tight

[EVOASSHOLE]

@Romernich90

Usually on a fixie wheelset the fixed cog side will be different to the freewheel side.

The freewheel side can be left empty or used with a single freewheel cassette.

Some help. What is the tool called used for the freewheel removal? I use fixed side only and the freewheel side rattles on rough roads so i want to get rid of it. The 2 prong thing.... Thanks

[itsangelothoo]

yeah does this work for all cassetes ? this will help alot

[biglouieg24]

aye man i have a 20"bmx and i want to change the sprocket on my rear wheel, help me out please, thx

[Jaketheskaterat]

Now i can replace those mags on my mongoose it'll be sick as heck now

[Jazzybreaks]

i found a cannondale frame that im converting into a fixie, but after removing the freewheel/cassette, how to make it "Fixed"?? so it wont freely spin "counter clockwise".

[zacbo7t]

fixie all day

[xxfatxx1]

im bulidin a 2007 haro bmx bike

[joey7288]

if anyone is trying to make a fixed gear bike with a freewheel hub it would go on but its not recommended thats what people call a suicide hub because the threads are not made for that and the fixie cog will thread off and if its at the wrong time and place you can get hurt!!!!!

[romernich90]

@joey7288 good comment... supper important for people riding conversions... get yourself a real fixed gear back rim! i learned that sliding downhill when my cog slipped... i had to tighten it the best could with the tips of my fingers and ride home at a steady pace,,,

[sofakartafla]

im planning to turn my dads old motobecane in to a fixie sometimes in the near future :D

[muzikfreek15]

you cannot make a fixie with those same tthreads unless you jb weld the cog....

track hubs have threads going the opposite way so the lockring wont come off with the cog.

[MacDaddySupreme69]

I'm guessing it means 'fixed gear' . No freewheeling. Single gear style, like most 20inch bikes.

[ToNy547100]

nice vid... whats the nxt step tho....?

[broseph421]

nice job ripping off the biketube video lol

[k1llakam100]

[madekorth]

Is it possible to do this without a Park FR thing?

Pleeeeaasseeee answer!

[BSATrooper298]

1972 Schwinn Le Tour. Chain and free wheel are pompletely rusted. Replaced chain, inner tubes, Rim tape, tread, bar tape (or wrap,) and re-greased all ball berrings in all parts.

[dudeontherun83]

[loganskaterkid1]

[frequencydude]

awesome vids friend ! im got an old ccm speed bike totally original. (70s model) just needs new cables. got it out of a dumpster. i cant wait to get crusin on it. i also got a ccm mountain bike which i use for transportation everywhere i go. im thinking about experimenting with building a tricycle. also considering motorizing it. not sure on that yet. i subscribe ! great job on the vids!

[tijnketelaars]

dude good video. do you know how that handy tool of yours is called? so i can order it online..

[ratrodschwinnmesa]

@tijnketelaars Thank you. It's a Park FR-2. Link in description. :-)

[romernich90]

@ratrodschwinnmesa is there any way you can put one of the cogs or rear chain ring things (the size desired) back on the freewheel hub? to just make it a regular freewheel singlespeed? because i have one of those old 80's rims too and i want to change the rear hub to just a single sprocket or whatever its called free wheel...

[chronus20]

@Zakiuz101 ok man thanx thats great 

[chronus20]

@Zakiuz101 kk great thanx :)

[chronus20]

once dats done, wat's da steps for makin da bike single speed?

[iluvvlinux]

I'm building a '77 Schwinn Le Tour II fixie!

Continental Gators

Shimano 105 crankset, bottom bracket, pedals, chain and front brake

Custom rear wheel from LBS

Should be a bit of fun :)

[nomer750]

Hey i have a schwinn can i turn that into a fixie..?

[random123outburst]

@nomer750 probably not without a new rear wheel hub (fixie specific)

[iluvvlinux]

@nomer750 you can turn any bike with horizontal dropouts into a pretty decent fixie. Older Schwinns work well.

[KeyTownCruisers]

We build and re-build up chopper,cruiser & lowglider bikes.

Nice well explained video.

Cruise on, KTC

[blackcatb2]

I'm building an old Schwinn fixie.

[onedollarjuggalo]
