Trickster Fixster Fixie Fest

Fixie tricks are becoming the norm. Most have been molded from tricks from other bike disciplines, BMX, mountain, stunt, dirt etc, but fixed gear tricks have taken on a magic all to their own. The main word that comes to mind is smooth! The nature of a fixie bike is a smooth ride. Tricks shouldn't be jerky or misplaced. You should never look like your losing balance. You should be winding backwards and forwards in smooth almost ballet style motions with your tricks being like a triple flip of a figure skater. fixie tricks should be more of dance than anything else. A tip to try if you find this a difficult concept is to put on some music of your choice and see if you can ride to it.

Fixed Gear Mini Toy

You wouldn't believe it from the photo, but this actually a miniature fixie model. They are now making these cool little accessories in Japan. Dare I say any more!

Schindelhauer – fixed gear belt

Ride me all day long

If there is a bike in my dreams its the Schindelhauer. The Germans make beautiful things and this is one of them! I doubt you can do much better than this for a city bike!

Fixed Gear Parts we Crave

 

You can't buy this Bike in a store

If your on the hunt for fixie parts, you'd better shop where this dudes been shopping. This bike is f%#@ing rad. Look at that angle. The slant degree from tail to nose is massively impressive. If I could just have 20 minutes on that thing to fly through the streets of any city in the world, I would be a happy hipster!

Fixed Fixie Bike Tricks

The great thing about messing around on your fixie is that you can do it any where! School, side walk, road, at the library, at a museum, any where at all. The best places are open public spaces with lots of concrete like outside Art Galleries and libraries, and museums and stadiums.

Fixed Gear Wheels

 
Who doesn't want a shiny snazzy custom individualised set of wheels for their fixed gear bike. Nothing says fixie like your rims and tires, but how do get your hands on a cool set that just says you! Wheels can get extremely  pricey so first you need to set your self a budget. Then decide whether you want new or used (second hand).You could pay anywhere between $5 dollars a rim to $5000 so figure out what you are willing to pay and then do your research. Online is a great place to start. We recommend Ebay, Google Shopping and Bike Exchange. We also recommend the company below which is not paying us to advertise for them by the way.
