No bar tape? Interesting choice but I respect it. Although I should mention that if you haven’t already at least put some bar ends to keep you from becoming a kabob.

I’ve never owned a fixed gear but looks pretty nice👍 I like the simplicity of it.

Nice build. I ride fixed gear but I still can't ride without the front brake.

Edit: yeah after that comment I've been riding brakeless 😂

You will never have to worry about being in the right gear on a fixie because you will always be in the wrong.

Im a fixed gear user from the Philippines and im using a Leader 725 2014

Leader frame, FSA(?) crankset, custom built wheels w/ Phil wood hubs, thomson stem, I'd say it's a pretty decent build. I'd say the only thing I'd change would be those pedals that look like the Odyssey BMX ones for maybe some black Free Agent metal ones. Also long risers but only cause that's my style

[hugoblin]

Nice, I can see that everything is torqued properly 😂😂😂

I can recommend a cheap pair of skinny jeans that stretch really nice if you want, they're more like sweatpants than skinny jeans while still being denim

[niewiemcopisackurd]

yeah! so cool! im gonna build a fixie!
wait i dont have money

[sdxlerocma]

Oh my God, I hope to have a bike like this one day..I feel so sad when I watch this video, ,

[charliewhelan]

Preload on headset bearings looks a bit too much

I get not needing to be in the right gear or needing to maintain it as much, but is there and other reason to go with fixed gear instead of a geared bike? If the gears are an issue, a 1x (read as one by) crankset solves the issue, you just have the rear gears to worry about, which on a 1x can probably go from 7 to 12.

What is the name of the tool to tighten the lock nut? Can't find one of those in my local shops. 😅

[canadahasfallen]

What are the benefits or fixed gear ?? Never really seen many people on them till this year. Now they everywhere.

[MrDVCHITTer]

That pant choice, I thought it was a 😬 girl on the bike, that last scene

[theshed]

What if you like actually need to stop guy I knew had a fixie and then was riding through the city came across a stop and cuz he didn't have no brakes he ran straight into an old lady who fell over and cracked her head open on the curb

[ronaldomartinez]

You have a cool bike, dude! 👍But, do you think its "cool" having no brakes and ride it on the streets? 🤪

[Daeng_Putra]

I wanna build a bike with 2k for my budget and want to have carbon frame what brand should i go for?

[orlipacheco]

Charlie is right, no need to crank your top cap that much, it will cost your steering to get weird, when riding free hands it pulls you toward one side, also ruins your bearings faster then normal!!! Sorry don’t mean to talk shit at all !!!

Please tell me why road bickering is better than mtb
