I own a SS/Fixie and commute on it, but it's got a near zero dish rear flip-flop hub designed for the purpose. I guess I don't understand why someone would take a bike that has shifting on it already, and components for multiple cogset in the rear and disable it, unless the rear derailleur is so bad or the shifters so non-functional, I have to disable it. I guess I'm not really understanding the point of going ghetto SS with the setup.
When I got the bike everything was so rusted nothing would move, so I took all the shifting components off and decided I wanted to try converting it to single speed, the bike is pretty old but I thought it might be fun to try a ss conversion.
