joshlyd1 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Use some aluminium car filler and fill it to the brim , its called metalik and they sell it at halfords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Best/safe(st) way would be to buy a bolt on sprocket, but that obviously costs money. Will be worth it though when you don't eat shit on a hard downstroke.EDIT: IF your hub has a disk mount. If not, there aren't any brilliant ways to do it.

Soon to be Rowan Johns Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 There's nothing wrong with it, I just have an old hub laying around, and wondered what it would be like to fixie it and give that a go.Thanks for all the suggestions, even the one's that weren't so useful were quite amusingI'll probs give the metal-filler a try, I'll keep you updated if i lose any teethAymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Just weld loads onto it, and it should be ok.Personally its a no for me to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 what sort of hub is it. If it has a freehub and no disk then take the freehub out and remove the washer that goes under the bolt that holds it on. The freehub will over tighten itself and seize up, hey presto.
