Are these multi-directional or single-directional and which one would be better for a fixed gear bike?

These r used for indoor cycling the cleats are smaller and only one direction they do not rotate but keep u very stable on the special shoes

Just one gear on the bike that I got. Which is probably all I think you would need on these type of bikes.

Any threaded rear bmx style or single speed mtn hub , such as- profile design , dmr, white industries, chris king... etc. Also some "flip flop" style track hubs . check city grounds . com or dans bmx .com . I used the DMR revolver hubs myself . ... good luck

It's still a free wheeled system. Fixie is a bad name for it. It should just say single speed. All it does is provide spacers and a lock ring for a cassette, along with a cog. So in short, no, not fixed.

You'll have to work really hard to go through inclined roads . in fact I just broke one of my paddles simply because of that (putting to much force on one paddle which apparently was not designed for that). I recommend get the one with the gears unless your ride is mostly on flat roads.

Good question. It is definitely a one gear bike. Perhaps they are referring to the size of the rear sprocket and the front sprocket which are of two different sizes. Having said that, you might consider a folding bike with multiple gears. I bought this bike for my wife and it is fine on the level. I have a Dahon with multiple gears and it is much easier to peddle on grades.

I never tried. I bought these for a fixed gear road bike so, didn't really need to. Sorry I wasn't more help.

This adapter does not restrict the movement of your freehub. It is merely a spacer kit that allows you to replace your gear cluster with a single gear of your choice. The description is a bit confusing, as this kit is for shimano freehub systems, and has nothing to do with fixed gear bikes.

I didn't drive another brand long enough to know about how the two compared. The shifter I had engaged/disengaged the two front wheels from swiveling independently in place (what you need to turn around in a tight spot) and then engaged them to steer with the handlebars.

I am unsure of the different`s but you should be able to switch them out with out any problem. I switch out the stock shifters on my MTB cause the stock ones broke. I have to say these feel great in your hands plus they come with grips witch also feel great.

It might be better to use one of shimanos models with a platform/sdp combo... If you don't get a good engagement on these there isn't much to pedal with.

You are talking about something with one wheel in front, two in the back? I don't think so. I think you need to use the front wheel version. I think it is slightly narrower than the rear wheel version, since it doesn't have the the gear cluster.

Yes it can be single speed the back tire has 2 cogs the thicker cog is for single speed and the thinner being fixed. I started out riding single speed now I ride fixed. Great bike at great price.

A mountain bike front derailleur would work best. Adding a 24tooth granny ring would be fine also.

This front derailleur is a triple, for mountain or hybrid bikes. It might "work" on your road double, but it is not a good choice.

Not sure what direction you are referring too, I've made this mirror work on both drops on a road bike and handlebars on a mtn bike. Its incredibly versatile and goes on in one second with a rubber clip on. I keep a couple around to quick thrown on MTN bikes if pedaling to the trails. but also using off the drops of my road bike. At The mirror can lean a bit in any direction partway and can be turned 360 degrees. I suspect there are very few position you can't make work. There are of course bigger mirrors that can be permanently mounted or Velcro'd on for a bigger view

The adapter creates a freewheel single speed.It is not a fixed gear, the hub will still coast.
