Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

FixMeUp website down? Alternatives?

I'm working on a conversion for a town bike and I had looked up the FixMeUP website for selecting gears to still allow use with semi vertical dropouts. Amazing website, plug in your chain stay length and boom - a nice graph of various chain ring and sprocket choices that magically come out to the correct length to fit in the dropouts. No doubt no explanation needed for many around here.

Anyway, now that I'm actually ready to make gear selections the website is down, and I'm worried it might be permanent. Any info on that, or alternative website?

HTML is working perfectly. If you post your specs I can run it for you, if you’re still having trouble.

Thanks all - seems to be working now. Eric House posted that his website was hacked and was down for a bit, and he is now rebuilding the site, so most functionality has returned. Thanks again!
