    arghh.. i took off my rear wheel to change the tire, and after i put it back on theres now a whirring sound coming from the rear cog, like kind of a fast clicking sound.. i'm guessing its something to do with how the chain is hitting the cog, but i have no idea how to make it stop. i've tried messing with the chain tension but nothing really makes it better. i know its probably just a small annoyance but its really frustrating cause i can't figure it out and it seems like it just happened out of the blue.. if anyone with a fixie has had this happen and knows whats up please enlighten me..

    tried the fixed and its awesome. a few questions tho.. how do you maintain a skid? when i skid i cant really hold it, i kinda skid then dont, skid then dont.. and theres a little play in my bottom bracket maybe, but maybe its my rear hub... i've noticed that every once in a while i'll spin hard and the cranks will turn but no movement in the chain-it's really brief, and after it happens, when i stop it happens in the reverse. but it hasn't progressed to more than that. its just kinda back and forth, and not real often. i dunno if its the bottom bracket or something else. oh well.. i'm drunk as hell..

    you maybe need to adjust the limiting screws on the deraileurs so they don't push the chain so far. but its hard to get them right, maybe take it to a shop.

    i brought my bike to the shop today to see about replacing the rear wheel and making the bike a single speed. the old guy at the shop was trying to convince me to just make it a fixed gear but i was hesitant so i guess i'm going with a flipflop wheel. for those who ride fixed is it really more enjoyable?
