Are you tired of riding the same old clunky bike around town? Are you ready to build your very own fixed-gear bike? Well, my friends, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we’re going to break down all the essential parts needed to build your own fixed-gear bike<\/strong>, and trust me, it’s going to be one wild ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this post, we’ll cover everything from selecting the perfect frame to installing the brakes (or not, if you’re a rebel like me). You might be wondering, “Can I just buy a fixie off the shelf?” Well, my friend, building your own bike not only gives you a sense of accomplishment but also allows you to customize it to your liking. So buckle up, grab your helmets, and let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following components are needed for building a fixed-gear bike<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The frame serves as the foundation of the bike and dictates the geometry and riding style of the build. It is recommended to choose a frame that’s designed for fixie riding<\/a>, with horizontal dropouts to accommodate the chain tensioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The rear wheel is a crucial part of a fixie and needs to be built especially for fixed-gear riding. It will have space for only one cog on each side, typically one for a freewheel cog and one for a fixed-gear cog. The free side will only have one set of threads, while the fixed side will have multiple sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat are the essential components needed to build a fixed-gear bike?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
