Can you use that tool to remove the freewheel on the fixie

@RetroFresh3 No , you need a freewheel tool

@bikemanforU thanks and how do i check my gear ratio??

[BikemanforU]

@980primo You ask questions in the wrong order.... Don't you think you should have asked this question first??? This is a great place for you to start ...sheldonbrown

Good site lots of info.. enjoy

[980primo]

wat would be the best gear ratio to have so its easier to skid?if u know

[BikemanforU]

@980primo 16x42 or 14x46 is a good place to start.. Skid stopping is more a technique than anything else.. good luck have fun

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS USE GREASE. please do not just throw on your cog without greasing it up first. Also, tighten up your cog as much as you can before threading on your lockring. if you don't you are just begging for a stripped hub and a 100 minimum repair.

Dear Bike Man,

I have an old road bike that i want to make work again, i also want to make it a single speed since i don't care for gears or fixie, my friend said my cassette is done for but that he could make it a single speed using the cassette, i was wondering if it's possible to take the cassette off and put a freewheel or cog on whatever you recommend on it?

thanks!!

[Natsukaze]
