Fyxation releases kit to convert fixies to six-speed

Published April 8, 2015

MILWAUKEE (BRAIN) — Fyxation is now shipping its Six Fyx kit, which converts fixed gear bikes with 120mm rear spacing to a six-speed derailleur drivetrain. The company first showed a version of the kit at trade shows two years ago.

The Six Fyx consists of a proprietary bolt-on 120mm rear hub with a 12-26 cassette, a removable derailleur hanger designed for horizontal dropouts, rear derailleur, indexed bar-end shifter, cables, housing and a 46-tooth chainring (130 BCD). The kit requires a 9-speed chain that is not included.

The kit is available with the above parts for $250 retail for customers who want to have a wheel built around the kit's hub. It's also available with a complete rear wheel built with the Six Fyx hub and a black 40mm Fyzation wheel for $300.
