Surly Fixer on Renn Disc?

Has anyone tried the Surly fixer on a Renn disc to try and make a rear track disc out of it? and if so how well did it work?

Thanks

I think the surly fixer is the same thing as HED use on their disc when you order it as a "track" disc. If it is the same then I've been using one for a couple of years and it seems to work quite well. No reason why it shouldn't work on a Renn disc too.

Cheers,

Just had a look on Surly's website. definately the same as on my HED wheel so go for it!

thanks for the info

According to Renn, it wont work on a 575. I emailed them

Well I managed to make it work.

Basically, I bonded the freewheel body to the disc.

All it took was a ring of 50mm PVC drainpipe, cut to about 30mm long, and slipped around the cassette body, with one edge flush against the alloy part of the disc. Then I filled the whole cavity with epoxy resin. For good measure I had a 13 tooth ring buried in the middle of the resin, so it isn't going to freewheel ever again.

Now it is a track disc. I just have a big stack of spacers and a 14 tooth single speed cassette sprocket on the piece of cassette body that protrudes from the resin. The advantage here is that the chain-line can be adjusted through the position of the spacers.
