braailegend Posted October 17, 2013 Share Was thinking of going completely basic, slap rigid fork on my on-one and put a 6-bolt cog on my disc brake end of rear hub. Dont want to invest in a back-pedal hub, so was thinking of this. Can just imagine losing pedals on a downhill and having it spin uncontrollably underneath you. Any one rode it like this before? http://urbanvelo.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/gal3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted October 17, 2013 Share Where do one get those cogs from? they are pretty cheap, looking to get some bars and paraphernalia as well. My 1st thought was, how you gonna land a jump, haha Edit: The shop http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopdisc.html Edited October 17, 2013 by braailegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted October 17, 2013 Share Not a chance in hell, I'm very happy with my latest technology cutting edge free hub thanks. Fixed is for unobstructed riding , not high speed roots rocks and branches.Maybe some guys rock the fixies on some pretty extreme stuff but not knobbly single track runs, that's asking for titanium pins to be inserted.....all over the show.
