Does anyone know if the above bike comes with a flip flop hub like the Langster or can the freewheel be easily removed. I`m told removing freewheel would be enough, however looking for someone who maybe has one to confirm ? Was in the bike shop today and they never had one but they say its fixed or can be ! but the web description says otherwise.

    yes the singlecross does come with a flip flop hub but no fixed sproket on the fixed side general kit is good for the price with the frame the best bit

    So what is required to make it fixed ? Just a cog and lock ring ? Could I just nick the cog from the other side ?

    it already has a lockring but you will need a threaded sprocket . size depending on what gear you want

    Wayhey! Another Brummie!

    That's all. Although I do have a few sprockets that you could have for nought - including a very nice 19t on-one CNC one. What size chainring are you running? If it's a 48 like the langster then I find 48/19 ideal for Brum streets but if you intend to take it off road for some fix cross riding then you'd want a slightly lower gear.
