I've been reading all the threads about fixed gear and am sold on the benefits. Can't wait
to try one.
But while thinking about it during a ride one day, I got to wondering if anyone has tried fixing the
freewheel (or freehub) but still having a cassette and multiple gears? This would seem to provide
many of the benefits of a fixed gear while still offering the flexibility to maintain cadence
through gear changes. It also means that it might be possible to convert a bike to "fixedwheel" or
"fixedhub" with no other drivetrain changes.
So why is this a silly idea? Has anyone tried it? Suggestions for how to fix the hub?
thanks, byron
