How to make a fixed gear bike?

Question

I wanted to know how to make a fixed gear bike from a mountain bike. Moreover, the parts needed and where to get them. I'd appreciate anything anyone can tell me.

Answer 1

One persons opinion.

Wear body armour if you do this.

Please.

Answer 2

it is pretty difficult to turn a mountain bike into a fixed gear since mountain bikes usually have vertical drop outs instead of horizontal   but it can be done. you have to re-bulid the wheel completely using a fixed hub or a flip flop hub

good luck but if you really want to enjoy the beauty of fixed gear use a road bike when i converted my mountain bike to fixed the chain kept falling off because the geometry just isnt perfect make sure you use one of those gizmos to keep the chain tight
