Any bike can be turned into a fixie, at varying degrees of difficulty. But if the rear wheel can be moved back & forth to adjust chain tension it'll be so much easier.

How can I turn my vintage road bike into a fixie?

If it truly is a vintage bike - don't. Whatever value it has will disappear when you hack it up. But If you insist: Start with finding out what kind of dropouts you have. Only bikes with (semi) horizontal rear dropouts are good fixie candidates. Next check your rear OLD - Over Locknut Distance. Basically the width of your rear hub, the distance between the rear dropouts. Then go shopping for a fixie rear wheel with the same OLD. Install fixie wheel. Check what your chainline looks like. If you have a double crank, you might get a better (=more parallel with the plane of the frame) If you use the inner chainring. If that doesn't give a tall enough gear you might have to shift the rings around. Or swap to a Single-Speed crankset and a shorter Bottom Bracket. Once happy with that, fit chain and ride.


What is the purpose of a fixie cog in a fixed-gear bicycle and how does it affect the overall performance of the bike?

The purpose of a fixie cog in a fixed-gear bicycle is to directly connect the pedals to the rear wheel, allowing the rider to control the bike's speed and direction by pedaling forward or backward. The size of the fixie cog affects the gear ratio, which in turn impacts the bike's speed, acceleration, and overall performance.

Do normal rear bicycle wheels work with fixies?

Depends entirely on what you think of as a "normal" bicycle wheel. An externally geared wheel is unlikely to work very well, as it has a longer axle and will require a wider dropout spacing than a fixie wheel. On top of that you might get into chainline and gear ratio issues, not to mention that the fixie chain might not sit comfortably on multi-gear sprockets. If you get the urge to turn the fixie into a geared bike, there are a bunch of brackets and attachments that your frame will be missing which will have to be sorted out. A wheel with internal gears is more like to fit both dropout width and chain width, but again using those gears will require some work. Replacing a fixie wheel with a single-speed wheel is usually easily doable, they tend to be a direct fit.

Can you turn regular bikes into exercise bikes?

Yes, it would be possible to turn a regular bike into an exercise bike. The way that this is done, is by mounting the bike at a level where the wheels spin, but the bike does not move. You can do this by welding metal onto the bottom of the bike, and elevating it.
