QA EP29 Single Speed VS Fixed

What’s the real difference between single speed and fixed gear? This episode breaks it down in plain English: how coasting works (freewheel/freehub) vs a fully locked fixed drivetrain, what each hub looks like, how the ride feel changes, and who tends to prefer each style. We cover simple pros/cons for city riding and hills, what to expect compared with multi-speed bikes, how conversions work (including chain/belt tension and sliding dropouts), and why a belt drive can make both setups even smoother and lower-maintenance. -- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro: Single speed vs fixed 00:13 What’s the difference?
