Converting PowerTap hub to Fixed
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:04 pm
Hey-o,
Been looking at the idea of converting a PT hub to a fixed... seems like I can get a road one used relatively cheap.
I've seen some articles about converting Gen 1 PT hubs with the Surley Fixxer (http://surlybikes.com/parts/fixxer) but I can't seem to find any reliable info about converting a newer generation hub.
I know that wheelbuilder.com offers a conversion but at $500 + the cost of a used hub I'd rather buy something new.
Thanks
