Is the back wheel a ticking time bomb, absolutely. 😂
Had the spinergy set for 6 years. Finally got around to converting the back wheel.

Woohoo bike out of Vietnam. Unfortunately I'm in the states. I'm sure I could import, but that seems like a lot. Anyone seen anything like this?

large frame

0 Upvotes

hey all! i got this ‘83 peugeot for STUPID cheap to convert into a fixed gear, but in my excitement picking it up didn’t notice the frame is a biiit large for me.

it seems to be around 58cm (i usually ride a 54cm) and i’m only about 5’8 - 5’9 in height. top tube sits juuuust about at my crotch.

im picking up a seat with higher rails later today to help bring it up a tad (i still had a bit of room before my leg was over-extended) and throwing on a shorter stem, but is there anything else i can do? would running shorter cranks help?

i dont plan to commute this bike or anything i hardly ride for more than 2-3 hours a day. should i just can the idea of messing with this bike and hope i find another? thanks in advance!

EDIT: to clarify over my last sentence… i do already have a seperate, proper fitting bike. so this is purely for the case of fun, whimsy, and using what i already have on hand

Rear wheel slipping

1 Upvotes

I purchased a 2008 schwinn Madison a few months ago. The bike has been riding amazing except for recently the back wheel has been slipping. If I put a lot of force into the back wheel, the wheel will rotate around in the drop outs. Is there a way to stop this? Any help would be appreciated!

should i consider buying this bike?

Post image
18 Upvotes

dolan df3 is somewhat of an attainable dream frameset for me, BUT. I’m approximately 190 cm tall, and this particular frame seems to be way too small for me. the seller pointed it out in the ad, but only put the measurement from center of BB to the top of the saddle as pictured (74 cm). I’ve measured the same thing on my current bike, and it was ~75-76 cm. also, on this bike, the cockpit is raised due to spacers and handlebars. I like the overall look of it, also, I know that I can tweak the fit, but if this frame is waaay to small, I will hit an adjustment ceiling at some point, if you can put it this way. do y’all think i should give it a go? they are really hard to come by where i’m from, also, in my size the rarity multiplies. should i try it or should i wait/search for my size?

KS Lev Ci Carbon Dropper Post 27.2mm 120mm Travel + Wolf Tooth Remote - NEW

1 Upvotes

Up for sale is a brand new, never-mounted KS LEV Ci Carbon Dropper Seatpost (27.2mm diameter) 120mm travel paired with a brand new Wolf Tooth Remote lever.

I purchased this high-end setup (the post alone retails for over $300) for a build that went in a different direction, so it has sat safely stored and never saw a single trail mile. It is in pristine condition.

Included in Listing:
KS LEV Ci Carbon Dropper Seatpost (27.2mm diameter) 120mm travel
Wolf Tooth Remote Lever with handlebar clamp
New shift cable and outer housing
Original KS User Manual
Why this setup?
At 27.2mm with a carbon fiber body, this is one of the lightest and slickest dropper upgrades available for gravel bikes, cross-country hardtails, or bikepacking rigs. Combined with the gold-standard action of the Wolf Tooth lever, it’s a huge performance upgrade over standard posts.

Will be packaged with plenty of protective wrap and shipped quickly. Feel free to send a message if you have any fitment questions! [eBay Listing Link](https://ebay.io/m/Lo8zTV)

Do people like the AFFINITY PRO TRACK CHAIN RINGS?

3 Upvotes

I just bought a new fixie used but it came with shitty parts and need a new chain ring and cranks, do people like the AFFINITY PRO TRACK CHAIN RINGS and are there chain rings that are more bang for your buck, and what are the best budget cransets that will last a long time.

Hej!
Jeg går med en drøm om at køre på en Fixie cykel!
Markedet synes jeg dog er svært at finde rundt i.
Jeg har fundet denne side i EU (https://www.santafixie.dk), men jeg synes godt nok de har blandede anmeldelser.
Er der nogen som har erfaring med dem, som kunne fortælle mig om deres oplevelser?

ELLER

Er der nogen som kender andre solide hjemme sider til FIXIE cykler?

AliExpress parts for a budget fixie build?

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade my fixie without spending a ton, and I’ve been looking at AliExpress since some of the parts seem significantly cheaper than buying everything from bigger brands.
For those who have experience with AliExpress bike parts, what would you actually recommend buying from there, and what should I avoid?
I’m mainly looking at stuff like:

Forks
Stems
Seatposts
Handlebars
Grips
Cranks/chainrings
Cogs/rear cogs
Pedals
Possibly wheelsets

I’m not looking to cheap out on safety-critical stuff, and I’d probably spend more on anything where quality/reliability really matters. I’m mainly trying to figure out which components are good value on AliExpress versus which ones are better bought from established brands.
If you’ve bought any AliExpress parts for your fixie/track bike that have held up well, I’d really appreciate specific recommendations or links. Also interested in hearing about parts that you bought and would NOT recommend.

Just trying to upgrade on a budget without ending up with junk

First fixie. Need help

Just got my first fixed gear setup from a friend who’s moving. I’m a road biker and have a fancy carbon setup, but I can’t figure out how to ride this fixie. How do you brake properly? Also, I can’t turn the handlebars more than a few degrees before the front wheel smacks the pedals. I feel like I’m not understanding how this thing works. Any advice

Road bike conversion to fixie

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I currently ride a fixie with horizontal track dropouts, but I’ve been wanting to build something around a Cannondale CAAD4 Saeco USA Team for a while. The CAAD4 Saeco has honestly been one of my dream frames, and I’ve found one that I’m seriously considering buying.

I know it has road-bike style rear dropouts rather than traditional horizontal track dropouts, so I’m wondering how realistic it would be to turn it into a true fixed gear.

A few questions:

  • Is it possible to run a true fixed cog safely on this frame?
  • What would be the best way to deal with chain tension?
  • Would a chain tensioner be suitable for a fixed gear, or should I look at something like a magic gear / eccentric hub?
  • Is there anything specific about the CAAD4 dropout that would make this a bad idea?
  • Has anyone here actually built a CAAD4 or similar Cannondale as a fixed gear?

I already have a horizontal-dropout fixie, so I know what the usual setup is. I’d just really love to have the CAAD4 Saeco as a fixed gear if there’s a good way to do it without compromising the frame.

Thank you all for the help
