Those sidehack bikes are so rad, I'd never heard of them until I saw this BMX doc the other day (Joe Kid on a Stingray) and they were killing these downhill dirt tracks on them.

I've been watching messenger races and stuff. I just saw highlights and clips from Monster Track 8. It's fucking crazy. http://www.playintrafficproductions.com/

If you get bored of watching it before the video is over scroll to like 3/4 of it and a guy tries to hitch a ride on a cab and wipes out.

To convert a roadbike to a fixie:

For buying a new hub how do you install it? You have a shop install it? Then is it better to install a lockring? I asked the guy at my local shop how to do it today. He was a real pain in the ass. He was going on about how fixed gear was dangerous. He just told me to buy rims with the hubs for a fixed gear bike already installed.

He wasnt being pain in the ass, and now i'll explain why.

Firstly in order to Install a hub U have to disassemble the wheels, then lace the spokes back onto the rims to hubs which can be pain in the ass. Highly not recommended for starter cause building wheels is the hardest part in fixing bikes.

And he is right for getting a new set of wheels (track wheels) based on the following grounds:

1) Less time consuming

2) Save u bit of money for stuffing up ( u can always sell the wheels that comes witht eh road bike)

3) Looks better.....(may be)

Additionally with regards to LOCKRING, install one they r left hand threaded (do not screw a BB lockring on it). Lockring is most essential and save ur life when u skid. Technically U cannot race in a velodrome if u dont have a lockring on.

machined wall will give u a faster braking. But its ok to run on deep Vs without machined, eventually the colour will wear off then u'll get a machined surface.

Lulz I finally found a bike seat.

[mlproject]

^nice stairmaster thing!

if you're running a brake, get a machined wheel. esp with the deep v's being powder coated, thte surface won't let you brake effectively and just ends up rubbing off and looking like shit.

[sidneylo]

!ay baybay GO EASY ON MY NIGGA. yeah. You make me spend more monies. No wonder that shit was rubbing off... ew.

[stuntastic]

True that Sids.

IF you do get machined, I'll take yer wheel, I need a new front wheel anyways...

HOLLER BAG CHIGGER.

[sidneylo]

I don't know if you want that wheel Jan. No idea what it is. Stock part? Eh fuck I gotta not use the brake and clean off the grime now.

[stuntastic]

Thas why Ima steal it from you like I stole your bike seat.

Is this a good set of predone rims? They have everything already right? Or do I still need to bolt lock? If they are with a track hub they already have the bolt lock built on right? Thanks for everyones help. Im a true noob when it comes to fixies.
