Does anyone have a surly fixxer they'd sell by chance? I have a set of road wheels I'd like to convert to fixed gear. Or does anyone know how well they work?

they work just fine...but for the price you might want to consider grabbing a new hub and rebuilding the wheel

rebuilding a wheel is a bitch, I had to rebuild like 3 spokes, and it took me about 5 hours to get the damn thing right, and you have to rememeber the right crossover patterns.

true but a fixxer will run between 70-80 dollars....you can almost buy as new wheel for that price. snaggin a hub and rebuilding could save 30-40 dollars.
