It looks like Fixie Inc has a fixed-free splined hub for their 5 Star bike. See the links here.

No dealers in the US though, so I don’t know how to get my hands on one.

The only real fixed gear belt drive that I’ve seen is the Stealth from f8cycles.com.

Is there any possible to stick an internal hub onto this bike? I am dreaming of combining it with Rohloff 14 Speed. I understand it would require re-spoking the wheel.

Mmmmmmm.

How about this,

Could you take out the the belt drive chain rings/hubs and put regular chain rings/hubs on this bike. that way you could ride fixie until someone came out way for you to ride fixie with a belt drive.

also with a regular chain on it, could this bike have a derailluer and gears put on it?

I ride a fixed gear bike and I have owned a Strida 3 in the past. I am excited by the prospect of a belt driven fixed gear bicycle.

While riding the Strida which is a single speed, I often noticed the chain skipping.
This would happen in high torque up hill riding.
There is a different belt on the Strida. The outer area is smooth and it is held tight with a bearing on the rear hub.

I can see that the District has ridges on the out surface of its belt. I do not have any good photos of the drive system so i don’t know how it works other than guessing.

I am concerned that the high torque of skid stopping my cause the belt to skip.

Does anyone have more information on this?

I would love a belt driven fixie!
