I never used the chain hanger on my Quickbeam, since I had already hooked the
chain over the fork ends in order to remove the wheel.

Cool. I have the same hanger on my SO. It's nice having something to keep the
chain back where I can hook it easily with the rear axel. The monkey nuts look
neat I'm curious how they work out for you.

already coming so we'll see how they work out but I think the tensioner was
probably a better call.
Good catch on the Columbine Chain Hanger; I thought it would come in handy

a different issue of freewheel rub (which I discovered due to the short

Looks great. I think I see a chain catcher thing on the stay you left off the
inventory, nice touch that's very handy.
You might consider the mks track chain tensioner as an alternative to the
monkey nuts.

If you are going to buy the whole fixed gear
If you are going to buy the whole fixed gear esthetic, you quibble over
even a single tooth so you will want the option for odd tooth rings. Eighth
inch chains, cogs and rings are nice too. You might want a 144bcd crank
like the Sugino 75, if you don't mind a lower limit of 42t on your rings.

The more I hear about the fixed gear bicycle experience, the more it seems
that putting on a 2 speed kickback hub is missing the point. It seems that
dialing in on the gearing is half the fun - it's a bike for tinkerers.

Oh, yea. I have a QB too. Had one years ago, too big. This one, just right.

I built a wheel with the SRAM 2-speed hub (originally for my SimpleOne, but
have since moved it to a different bike). I love this hub. It is different
than the SA kickback in that it is not a kickback, but instead shifts
automatically from one speed to the other at a preset point. For my wheel
Building a wheel is pretty fun and relatively easy to do a basic job on.
Especially when you have a specific build in mind. Have fun!

I don't think so although it seems like a nice, reasonable set. The 2
speed hub is intriguing and I'd like to see if I can learn a thing or two
about wheelbuilding on this bike. A dynohub on the front would be neat.
If anyone has any experience with this hub or just thoughts, I'd love to

Perfect, glad it has a good new home! You going to get the wheelset they're

I think the same seller was also selling a 650b Suzue/Synergy wheelset for
