My question may seem simple in comparison to some of the previous, apologies.
I have a new bike (secondhand) and have just switched to fixed from the freewheel as I've removed the brakes as I've swapped the handlebars from bullhorns to risers. I hope to have the front brake set up tomorrow so I won't be brake-less. However, I just went for a little test ride around the block to check the tension in my straps and noticed a slip when attempting to accelerate away quickly. I presume it's the rear sprocket. Is it just a matter or tightening the lock-ring?
