Q: Hi im planning to built a single speed bike since im new to this bike stuff what size frame should I get?Im 5'9".What other parts do I need to built the bike and what size?

A: you're probably a 54cm. it depends on your torso. if you're new to cycling you might want to get fitted somewhere so you can have your size for future reference. as far as building a single speed you basically just need a freewheel. But if you're wanting

SRAM Built the PC7X Single Speed Bike Chain to prevent the excruciating pain associated with teabagging your stem. Unexpected gonad-to-stem contact sucks, and thats why SRAM built the PC7X strong. How? Well, what makes this chain special is whats lacking: theres no fancy, link-weakening-technology to aid shifting or reduce weight. That means the beef stays where you need it, and crapping out is a memory. A nickel finish keeps the PC7X fresh throughout its hard-knock life, and chrome-hardened pins handle the abuse associated with blood vessel-rupturing mountain climbs, urban rail-slides, and epic fixie-skids.

Singlespeed bikes: Illegal death traps? - Cyclelicious

Chainguards required Chainguards are a requirement for "bicycles having a single front sprocket and a single rear sprocket." That seems to mean that every singlespeed bike and every bike with internal hub gearing -- including that sweet singlespeed 29er, your urban fixed gear tarck bike, and the very useful Strida folding bike with belt drive -- is required by Federal law to be sold with a chainguard. This standard dates back 1973, when the nascent CPSC identified the bicycle as the Number One health threat to children ( no kidding! ). If the CPSC narratives can be believed, one problem is the little darlings apparently kept jamming their foot into the chain, wrecking the bike and injuring themselves in the process. John Forester, among others, has expressed his disdain for CPSC accident investigations . Finally, the Bianchi Pista is a real track bike, meant for racing on the velodrome. "Track bicycles designed and intended for competition that have tubular tires, a single crank–to-wheel ratio and no freewheeling feature are exempt," according to the CPSC regs. I put that bike under "maybe" because the Pista is spec'd with clinchers, not tubulars, but the CPSC fails to define "tubular tires" in their regs so maybe Bianchi and every other track bike vendor can get away with this. Okay. So what? This doesn't directly affect us as consumers. The CPSC rules are only for those in the bike supply chain. If the CPSC ever decides to enforces this chainguard rule, it will increase costs for the bike companies that will probably be passed on to you. The chance of a product recall affecting singlespeed mountain bikes seems silly, but the CPSC forced Cannondale to issue a recall last year when Cannondale forgot to include spoke protectors on some of their road bikes. Maybe the bike companies are working behind the scenes to update the CPSC regulations. When the chainguard requirement was written in 1973, children bikes weren't equipped with derailluers, while...
