Hi Vi,
I  have Sturmey-Archer S3X which is a fixed gear, three speed hub.
It was intended for the trike configuration, to allow going reverse but I have not testet it yet because it requires a different width than my Nexus 8 speed hub. :-(

I am much interested in your fixed gear expirience!

The only real 'fixed gear' expirience I can offer is from riding an unicyle - also center steered in a way, but certainly neither low nor racer.
The essence is, you need to keep pedaling actively.

BR
Gerald

The chair swivel plate seems strong enough, and worthy of a test.  Now we have 2 disk-type pivots in the field.

I am curious about the fixed gear application in python.  Can someone with fixie experience comment, up hill, down hill, braking, tricks?  

I have a BMX free-wheel sitting around after being replaced by coaster brake-wheel, and may covert it fixed gear for experiment.  Price for used 700c fixed-gear wheel set / complete bike is becoming reasonable as donors.  Some even come with coaster brake too, so it's tempting...

Cheers,

Vi

Very creative use of a chair swivel plate (what it seems) for the center
pivot. Wonder how long it lasts. Reminds me of the "pivot solutions
page" I wanted to start in our wiki ...
