OPTIONAL

FIXED GEAR/FREEWHEEL

You'll need two optional tools that

aren't pictured in this Build Guide: a

chain whip

and a

lockring tool.

Remove your rear wheel from the

bike.

The side of the rear hub with the

fixed cog/lockring has two separate

sets of threads on it - the first, closest

to the middle of the hub, has right-

(i.e. "normal")

hand

thread and

accepts the fixed cog. The second,

closest to the outside of the hub, has

left-hand

(i.e. "reverse")

accepts a lockring. The lockring stops

the cog from threading off when you

attempt to skid, pedal backwards, etc.

Use your lockring tool and turn the

lockring clockwise to remove it. Set

aside.
