Kick it hard enough & it'll come back to life....
Wern't you going to email me about IT Infrastructure Architecture, recently?
Maybe there'll be another rash of fixie conversions over winter... for now it looks like the fixed people are happy and the broken people don't care 
Cheers,
W.

Still contemplating ditching my geared commuter (assembled at great expense over the summer) and going back to the fixie...

Hello, newbie question: my Pearson creaks alarmingly when I turn the pedals. I fear it is unwell. What should I do?
Oh, I saw some great tweed at the spitalfields market this lunchtime...

Buns is probably your man... is it as you put the power down? or just simple rotation?
sprockets aligned?

Seatpost maybe - have you ridden in the wet lately? That as a problem I had.
If not, pedals? Loose chain?

Seeing as I'm only doing 6 flat miles a day at the moment I've toyed with the idea of turning the mercian into a winter SS before it gets the full tourer respray and rebuild next year.

CX: FCN 3
SS: FCN 4

I have considered buying such a beast then fitting the biggest rear sprocket I could find. I wonder if getting the gears going would be more difficult? |
well a 65/20 would only be about 85GI
I think your main issue would be fitting it without the chainring rubbing the frame.
