I agree but how else are you meant to tension a chain ? They are ugly but what else does the job for such a small outlay ?

Mountain biking with a fixed single speed is truly old school and insane!!!

surly is sprung and kinda quiet. Bachelor has rollers and makes a little more noise

damn, the snail was swaying it for me with regards to the ecentric hub, until i realised he was a innocent bystander. great vids, to sum up as long as you don't use nasty shift specify components or sprockets that look like sonic the hedgehog and employ eyes that are non hungover to line it all up then you are as a scouser once put it 'safe as f*%k' nice one
hi charlie,in your opinion,which one is a better option,an eccentric BB or eccentric ENO hub?at the moment,im rocking a "magic gear" but im trying to find a proper system for it.eccentric BB would be more flexible in fixing any rear wheels,whereas ENO hub requires a wheel build everytime you want to change to a new set of wheel,correct?

@abdulwarithzaki the eccentric BBs that retro fit are not super reliable. The white ind eccentric hub works very well. Once you have that wheel built up, you can fixie any bike.

all those are expensive and overly complicated. for $4 you could just get a half link. you are all welcome. or go ahead and spend an ass load of your money on something that is not needed.

@satanforpresident .... half links are the weakest link in a chain. Chains stretch and then you will have a slack chain, and need to remove links, add cogs etc.
It can work for a while but what we have here is a better long term solution.

@ssttoonneeyyyy.... it just slimed on to the set and started acting away... ("set" being an overstatement for my garden)
