Default convert singlespeed to fixed gear

right now i have a single speed track bike. I'm wondering what I need to do to it to make it a fixed gear. Is this a difficult endeavor? What about price?

Thanks

Default Re: convert singlespeed to fixed gear

about 30 bucks to go super high end...

Dura Ace Track cog 19.99
Dura Ace Lock Ring 7.95

or

Surly Track cog 25.95


Basically if you have a single speed you can toss one of these cogs on the back in place of your freewheel and have a fixed... I dunno if your hub has the smaller revers threads for the lockring or not but it might...
