Solé Bicycles // How to change your bicycle from Freewheel to Fixed Gear

[@99knives22]

If you're really into aesthetics on your bike then it might be worth noting to flip your tyre around as well to have the rotation in the right direction.

When did Sole change the axel tentation setup? In order versions the adjusters were rear facing.

[@Andrew-k9h9k]

We made that change when we moved to the second generation of those bikes in 2019

@@Andrew-k9h9k thanks!! I just bought a 1st gen. 😎

@4:05 looks more like 1-2 cm not mm

[@roberthallam6741]

It really doesn't need to be so complicated! Just a wrench will do. See Pure Cycles video.

do every road bikes come with a rearwheel that has both cogs?

[@randomdudecommenting6817]

Idk about road bikes (assuming ur talking about more than 1speed/gear) but i dont think so?

[@ElvisAngelaccio]

No, only single-speed bikes do. You need a special frame for chain tension.

[@swinthom]

If and when you wish to swap it back to a single speed freewheel do you need to loosen the lock ring and the fixed cog. Or can you leave them tight? Thanks

[@XuYœ_So2]

Can you make video about converting 7 speed to fixed gear.. please ❤

[@callofduty_noob7064]

can you do this vice versa?

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

so I gotta buy that lockring/chain whip tool? I have the park tool Cassette Pliers, so I can't use that for the lock ring ;(

[@roberthallam6741]

No. See Pure Cycles video on changing a flip hub.

[@galangadita8558]

What ratio to use for crank?

[@SoleBicycles]

46:16 (or 2.875)

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

[@pramishregmi5321]

[@yablonskii]
