Speed Fixie
I own many road bikes but am looking to convert one to a fixie/single speed. Can anyone tell me what i need?
Here's one of the slickest things going:

It's really all you need for a single speed conversion.
If you're looking for a fixed gear, You'll need the chain tensioner unless you have horizontal dropouts, and threaded hub on the rear wheel, a track cog, a lock ring, and a track chain. Road chainrings are compatible with track chains.

If you're lucky you can find the cog you want in a road pitch so you can use a road chain.
