The Fixie Thread

[Lorday]

Got a large frame which will bar spin with tires under 25c sizing. Anyone want it cheap?

Been commuting on this for the past 6 months or so. Currently 46:15, but soon to be 47:17 with NJS approved drivetrain Colour matched Aerospoke for the front is currently being painted... weighs just under 9KG as seen below.

Thanks to Senan for the pic!

Probably a noob question, but is it possible to squeeze a 700c tyre onto a 27 inch rim?

Cheers

700c road tyres are hard enough to get on normally, let alone on a bigger rim. You could try, but dont expect it to work.

Yeah 8mm of diameter is a fair amount, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't work.

Lemon I went for a blat earlier man. Add me on facebook (rhys edwards) and we'll tee up rides in the future.

Well built up my fixie. It's cost me a tad more than $200. The wheels are stock off a charge plug. I'm still working out gearing, probably going to get new cranks - something without a integrated bash guard (because that's not hip!) and around 42 or 44t, which will give me 66-68gi. If anyone wants to buy these ones shoot me a message, they're immaculate 1970ish Sugino cranks 40/52t with the integrated guard, a little birdy told me they're quite rare.

Eventually i'll replace the wheels with low flange durace hubs laced to araya rims which I have lying around.
Yes that post was copied off my bmu post.
