Will maybe go wider and plastic at some point. The Ritchey Kyote bar is crazy wide but feels good cruising around the neighborhood. Paired a brand new dangler and shifter with a five year old cassette and 20 year old crank. Still need to tubeless. I went back and forth about buying one of these and was planning on building up similar. Wound up deciding that total economic collapse was a good reason to not buy more bikes. Now I’m jealous. ---

Ah shit I think I’m gonna build a sw8 fixie. I’ve never owned one so I’m pretty excited but I’m also quickly realizing how little I know I’ll mostly just use for puttering around town but would like to fuck around on some trails and gravel too. Thinking 35mm tires, g ones or similar I assume I can find a cheap wheelset used but I’m tempted to build a set with wider/tubeless rims and a shimano dyno hub I already have. If I go this route, what rear hub should I use? The frame has 126mm spacing so I think 120 or 130 will be fine but I can’t decide if I want fixed only or fixed/free. Will I ever actually flip the wheel if I have the option? ---

I flipped the wheel on my sw8 fixie about once a month, untill I got tired of whatever was on there and went back. ---

fixed/fixed so you can run two different cogs, or cheat a freewheel on there if you really need to ---

@Master_Stabby @turpentine Well those both sounds reasonable, but I lean towards thinking I might never ride single speed. Also, I still look back fondly at the summer of 2013 when I regularly borrowed my then roommates steamroller. I’m working on it. ---

I did some medium distance stuff in it, and it was nice to switch to coasting when my legs were rubbery and I was 20 miles from home. Also my fixed cog was a 17 and the freewheel was a 19 I think, so it was easier. ---

I didn’t realize that was an option, I think I’ll do that. Anyone have a recommendation for a fixed/fixed hub preferably less than $75? ---

but also, if you are in a populated area you should be able to find ‘fixie’ wheelsets at the ‘formula to deep v’ quality level used pretty readily for cheaper than a new wheelset. ---

I see a few cheap wheels on my local Craigslist (though not as many as I used to, maybe that’s more of a FB marketplace crowd now?) but I want tubeless and dyno. Here’s my plan Surly rear hub fix/free Shimano 3n72 I have in the mess Dt Swiss r460 rims Dt comp spokes G one 35mm I know it’s kinda silly but it would satisfy my immediate wants for this build and for once I just don’t want to dither about this anymore. Also I don’t mind throwing some money at something right now and this seems like an ok place @Bootus you can buy my wheels when I get bored of the fixie life ---

i don’t know about the surly ultra new, or whatever they have now. but the surly new track was HORRIBLE and i’ve never wrecked so many bearings on anything else ever. ---

does anyone remember the [Forward Components](http://cyclic-bikes.blogspot.com/2009/02/forward-components-eccentric-bottom.html) eccentric hollowtech BB? existed for a short time and was significantly cheaper than the Philcentric.

Oh shit, a Katu path I had never even considered. Derpouts are horizontal, so would just need a 135 fixed/free hub. TC I’ve never owned a Surly either, was considering doing a twofer with a metallic lilac Steamroller ---
