is the fixed gear cog already on or do i need to put it?

No, you need to purchase the track cog, lock ring, and probably a chain whip (unless you want the cog to spin off when you SKIDDDZZZZZZZZZZ).
1863822
You will need to get your own. The cogs come in all sizes depending on how fast you want to go / work you want to do.

I didn't get a cog with mine, I had to order and put it on myself. ChainWhips are only necessary (in my opinion) when taking off the cog. YOU WILL NEED TO BUY THE LOCK RING ALSO.

The wheel did not come with a rear sprocket, on the one that I bought....I added a single speed freewheel for my bike.

Make sure that the capacity of this derailleur meets your requirements for the big cog. Other than that, new shifter (only need one since you're eliminating the front derailleur), new cassette (if you're on a 3x8 there is a chance you have a free wheel vs a free hub in which case you may need a new rear wheel. If your crank isn't serviceable (I.e. Riveted chainring vs. bolted, you will need a new crank and possibly a new bottom bracket if the chain line is changing. Usually a good idea to run a chain guide on the 1x also, even though this derailleur pulls tight and doesn't bounce much at all (maybe replace defunct chainring with guide?). Sounds like a fun project, enjoy! Make sure that the capacity of this derailleur meets your requirements for the big cog.

The hub becomes a freewheel, not a fixed gear. This kit worked great. I replaced a 10 cog txt hub with it. Shims make it easy to adjust in minutes. I am very pleased. I used in combination with soul craft tensioner which also worked great. The only way to go.

Mine is slightly out of true laterally. Freewheel ready. Just have a chainwhip.

Well the bike comes in "fixed" mode when shipped. Flip the rear wheel to other side in order to use the "freewheel" side of the hub

I believe you have to put both wheels and the chain on. It wasn't too hard but you have to be a little handy with a wrench.

Hi Laura, Sorry for the delay. There is a nut that is at the base of the old gear shift or you should be able to twist off the old one.

Are you sure the gear is not broken. Check if you can move the lever backwards and forwards. If you can the try tightening the screw in its housing. If it does not work seek advice from the manufacturer.

Need to check tension,see Instructions. Chain needs to be on sprocket all the way also.Another thing to check, make sure the chain teeth are going the right way.it could be on backwards

Yes, that is how my bike is set up. Fixed cog on right, free wheel on left, or vice versa, depending on how you want to ride. Good luck

Make sure the gears are seated correctly. Mine did not work at first because I did not have the vertical gear pushed down far enough. I doubled checked my work by forcing the gears to turn using my fingers so I could see if everything was in the correct position.

It is screwed onto a threaded shaft. The trick is that it is reverse threaded. Right to loosen left to tighten.

Yes you do. It is not difficult if you can use a wrench. It took around 30 minutes plus some fine tuning. It may or may not be required to tune up the gears. If it does you can do it yourself (info is on the internet and it is not hard) or take it to a bike shop. I found that everything went together and operated pretty well.

The issue is not with the gears, but making sure that you can pull out the the axle and replace the quick release inside the axle hub. Otherwise, just make sure the measurement of the quick release matches your axle. If you're a professional biker with tools, you should be able to do it yourself, otherwise, I'd take it in to a bike shop.

Yes I was able to change gears. The skewer included replaces the stock one when in the trainer. The gearing will function just as if you were riding your bike on the ground.

It fits on the reat wheel to protect the gears. I attached it and then removed it as my rear basket did not fit properly with it installed.

You need a generator front hub wheel. Shimano or other brand... Also known as dynohub. And a connector plug for said wheel
