Is it possible to transform it from a fixie to a single speed? If so, what are the proper tools required?

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.

If you want to be able to pedal backwards freeky. Simple flip the rear wheel. It's a flip hub which means one side is fixed and the other is single speed. Stay coastin.

I would replace it with exactly what's on it now. The 8 speed might fit but then you would need everything else to be compatible.

No you can not. You would have to replace the hub, a lot of work. Zerolite makes a singlespeed wheel.

The bike comes with skinny tires. To convert to a flat handle bar system you will need to get the new handle bar, swap out the breaks and maybe redo the break cables because of the length. This is a horrible bike that I returned to amazon. It is not worth the money.

I put them on a standard ten speed without modifying. You may need to spread the forks or trailing arms slightly but it is a fairly easy modification. Make sure the wheels will accept the disk

This bike is flip flop. Have 2 cogs if you choose free wheel or fixie. Is very easy to do :) yes you can do it

You need the necessary tools. Allen wrenches and an adjustable wrench will do. Chain might be a little tight, I would assemble it and get a tune up for an extra 50. It is worth noting that these rims arent built for brakes so you might want to assess that by losing one of the brakes or both, and ride fixie instead.

It came with instructions. You will need your own tools. Adjustable wrench, water pump pliers, allen wrenches, and screw drivers. I had to adjust the shifters, and derailleurs in order to make it shift right. (10,11,12,13,14,15mm wrenches or sockets would also work) The seat sucks, and I replaced it with a seat rated for fat guys. All in all I'm happy with this bike for the time being.

not hard at all. If you can change a car tire you can do it. Plenty of instructions and videos online. I've never worked on them before and now I've completely disassembled it and put it back together easily. I went WAY beyond what is required to swap the bolt action.

It's possible but I don't advise it. To do that would mean readjusting the shift cable anytime you adjust the chain tension or if you remove the wheel to fix a flat. It's likely that after you've adjusted the chain tension enough you'll have run out of gear cable adjustment and you would then have to either relocate the cable stop or the position of the fixing bolt unit at the end of the shift cable. I looked at that on several of the bikes I've done and it just didn't work well.

You would need a 10 sped chain (thinner than 9 sped to fit the 10 speed cogs) Also you may need a different front derailleur if going from a double to a triple Shimano has a Web site technical documents specifications or call Shimano technical departmeant

Go to a local bike shop that sells tools. That is how I got mine. There are a couple different styles of tools and you need to get the right one.

First of all thanks for the reply. And indeed I figured I had to make that change in the Bike. Thank you very much again !!!!!

Yes with a simple modification. Use a mider saw And two 2x4s drill and sandpaper. Sand down the back half of your bike screw in the 2x4s and weld a 2x3 inch plate to the tire. That should do it.

Its hard to say. If you are planning on riding fixed gear, then expect there to be a learning curve. If you plan on just using the single speed/free gear, then you would probably be just fine. If you are unsure if fixed gear is for you, then I recommend to do a bit more research before buying. All that being said, I love my PureFix bicycle.

Change the pinion n spur gears n you will be fine you will get plenty of speed out of that

I don't think so- it there a quick release on the rear wheel? You would have to be able to remove the skewer from the rear wheel to replace with the one included. I had an old 10 speed with a quick release and we still had to modifiy with washers because it was not the standard size for newer wheels.
