Flowta Posted May 2, 2009 Share You can go fixed with drop outs like these commonly found on older geared bikes Only with a bolt axle...not QR. Sheldon Brown might have disagreed with you on that. From http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fixed-conversion.htmlQuick-Release or Nutted?Track hubs generally come with solid axles and track nuts. This is because most velodromes have rules requiring this type of wheel attachment. As a result' date=' it is widely believed that quick-release axles are not suitable for fixed-gear use. This is false! It is my belief that the velodrome rule dates back to longbefore the invention of the quick-release, when the choices werestandard nuts or wing nuts. The protruding "wings" of wing nuts mightconstitute a hazard in a crash, and I believe that's why the rule wasinstituted. Since quick-release skewers don't have any sharpprojections, that becomes a non-issue in practice. If you are going to use a quick release with a fixed gear, you should make sure to use a good quality enclosed-cam skewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted May 3, 2009 Share I've had personal experience with the QR moving in a horizontal dropout. No matter how tight it was. With a normal bolt axle it never happend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
