How often do you break a chain on a fixed. A friend keeps asking me have I broken it?
is it very common with a fixed?

Never broke a chain riding fixed, but I have snapped a bottom bracket axle (or are they called spindles?) I then discovered it is possible to ride fixed with one leg (slowly)0

You're quite unlikely to brake an chain that isn't worn to death on a fixie as there are no lateral forces on the chain, and generally you aren't strong enough to break one!
I use connex wipermann z1star ss singlespeed chains on two of my ss bikes and a half link on my jump bike. Haven't come close to snapping one yet.0
