I finally got around to converting my Langster to a fixed wheel yesterday. This was a bit more complicated than expected, due to me also fitting Schwalbe Marathon Plus 28s so as to do all I could to guarantee that I would not get any punctures. These tyres were just a bit too big for the brakes and so I ditched the latter, since they are (I am told) redundant if you are riding fixed.
I did a cautious first run down the road to Kingsclere and back. After a while I got used to the fixed sensation and found everything bar going down hill good fun. I did a follow up ride on my winter Giant next and noticed I was a lot more aware of the pedalling action. So will continue with a few fixed excursions
