Do fixies have freewheel hubs? Or are they the bikes Kevin Bacon rode in Quicksilver?

FIXIE having a FREEwheel hub?
Are all Canadians this dumb?
Some may have a flip flop hub where you could thread a freewheel cog on the other side though...
Well, jerkus, I wasn't sure if the fixed gear meant that it only had ONE gear. Jerkus.
Not all Canadian's, just the ones from Quebec.
Fixies are fixed gearing. If the rear wheel is moving, you are pedaling.
Unless you are doing this...

I guess the proximity to Canada is wearing off...
I want a 9 speed fixie, that would be awesome.
Sturmey Archer at point Point made a 3 speed Fixed hub, It is extreamly rare and Expensive. there have been rumors for several years that they are going to make it again
you could always have some special pawls machined up to lock a standard hub...Sturmey Archer at point Point made a 3 speed Fixed hub, It is extreamly rare and Expensive. there have been rumors for several years that they are going to make it again
thats the easy part, its the Shifting part that is tricky. a Buddy of Mine has taken an old 3 speed a part and modified to make it a 2 speed fixed.
It's close to being released.Sturmey Archer at point Point made a 3 speed Fixed hub, It is extreamly rare and Expensive. there have been rumors for several years that they are going to make it again
They've sent some to some manufacturers to test. So maybe we'll hear something about them by interbike.
The Hammerschmidt isn't fixed , it has a Freewheel in it
In a way I envy you MMike, you have no knowledge of Fixes or Hipsters. There are just some horrors that can never be unseen.
I looked cool and crossed dressed long before I had a fixie, so...
But really, it is a fun challenge to ride fixed (it's an insane workout), and the simplicity is appealing. Simplicity aside, I would love to have a two or three speed fixie...
Unfortunately for some people it has become a fashion accessory, but hey at least it's getting people on bikes. I have to say there are a lot worse fashion accessories to blow money on.

The HS doesn't freewheel, your hub does. So it would be with a fixed gear hub.
I could see why one would ask such a question. I went to Canada, it was bland.
Really? Didn't know that. Guess I should have paid more attention when I was testing it.
once again, these are some very mean tags

You can locate that stem on that bike, found at your local Felt dealer when they're in stock.
On the serious tip, I don't know, it was made for us for that bike, I'm sure you can find something gold out there though, no?
