[DrKnockers226]

gaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy



[stillcovalent]

how did you install the cat at 1:38 on your fixed bike?

[PunkandDisorderly987]

why did you put the grips on the top not the dropped?

[HaasGrotesk]

So I was wondering. Aren't those tires too thin to do wheelies? I mean when you come back down doesn't that bend the entire rim? I want to build one for trickin but don't reallt know how well it will hold.

[matthew1er]

[ShAgGy1251]

hey im looking into buying my first fixie on craigslist and it doesnt have any brakes....do i buy brakes???

[TheDevante13]

@ShAgGy1251 Me and my friends all ride without breaks, but I've seen a few people ride with there front break still attached, If this is you FIRST fixie, I'd ride a front break until you're comfortable with skidding.

[ShAgGy1251]

@TheDevante13 alright thanks

[matthew1er]

@TheDevante13 ive been riding bikes for a long time so i learned fast without breaks

[matthew1er]

@ShAgGy1251 if your still a begginer in bikes.. then yes use brakes.

and make sure you buy straps for your pedals

[pjlurker420]

[ethanB612]

So you replaced the crank, the chain and the rear wheel... I assume you bought the rear wheel already made? How about the crank? Did you keep the old bottom bracket? How much for everything?

[matthew1er]

@ethanB612 new bottom braket. best to just buy a real fixie

[FriskyPr0ductionZ]

Liking the Conversion bro.

[matthew1er]

@FMECCTV just try taking the whole brake lever off then look inside it to see how to get the cable out, usually its a cable with a little fat medal thing at the end of it

[joehoughton]

whats the best option to remove the paint please?

[matthew1er]

@joehoughton Well what i used to remove paint from mine was this stuff called jasco paint & epoxy remover , i baught from ace hardware, they have it in two forms, a arosol spray can, and just a little tin of it, get the little tin it works better and theres more in it. but BEWARE this stuff is strong & can eat your skin, so dont get it onyour skin.

[LAGASH40]

[fixiesRus4ever]

[matthew1er]

@fixiesRus4ever YES this is the best bet if you want a fix gear bike to start out

[person2000000]

Ey how turn into a single speed?! I need help please!?

[ramosjuan23]

@person2000000 take off the derailleur and cut the chain and put it on the gear you want

[fozzi900]

the cat...lol

[matthew1er]

well some "bottom brackets" are diffrent from others,

it usually requires twisting a ring,

and alot of times you turn it clockwise.

I took out the old cranks and bracket and put in a new IRO CRANKSET

[CeeEmmz]

did u change the whole sprocket and hubs? if so how did you take the sprockets apart?

[matthew1er]

@CeeEmmz diffrent sprokets are diffrent but if you are trying to remove yours for a new one, just take off all the bolts haha start with the ones on the crank arms.

[ajs204]

how much did this put you back?

[matthew1er]

@ajs204 probably about close to $300 . it rode very nice. but looking back i should of just waited and baught a bike that i didnt have to be converted to a fixie .

[johngorgis]
