Built wheel!

I picked up my finished wheel from the bike shop today!
Which means I now officially have a fixed gear wheel, with which I’m going to convert my bike to fixed gear some time this week.

It was all very exciting today, he only charged me £13 which is much less than I expected, and he spent about 5 minutes trying to find a 3/32 sprocket which had a few more than 12 teeth, I wanted to go with 14 but he didn’t have any and 12 is a little too high a gear for me at the moment.

He eventually found a 15 tooth sprocket which he gave to me as a gift due to lacking a selection of parts…

I recommend Bob’s shop to anyone around Leicester, he really knows what he’s doing and is just brilliant.

As for myself, I can’t wait to get it fitted to the bike and take her for a spin.
