  • how much did the whole back wheel come to and was it brand new or second hand? need to know this as I might do one of these coversions :') oh and if you got it online can I get the name of the site PLEASEEEE!

  • @MrNumberTre read the description

  • Im doing this right now and I am at the point where I need to shorten my chain. How do you figure out how many links to take out?

  • @saynotoemo84 put the wheel in and keep it as far into the dropouts as you can, so that there is no more space left. Then wrap the chain around chainring so that the two ends meet then keep pulling the other end until its kinda tight (not too tight) keep in mind that once the chain is on you can move the wheel back in the dropouts for tension. So one the chain is tight count the number or links left over and take out one less than the amount you count. Message again if still confused.

  • did you flip your chain ring..? why is the smaller one on the inside..???

  • @cuakomaone no thats just the way it was.

  • @JoshRem12 is there any other way to make a fixie?

  • @FriskyPr0ductionZ Hope that stays on for you that way. As i mentioned it could be done that way, but I wanted to be as safe as possible.

  • If you've never used a chain tool, practice on an old chain. Like you say, you have push that pin just right so it'll be easy to reassemble.
