Do they exist? And if so, anyone know where I can get one? I've bought an old Raleigh Twenty today and am going to turn it into a little fixed runabout.
20" fixed wheel.

BMX tend to be "406" as do recumbents, some also use "451", but tyres are less available and restrictive.There are also 438 and 440 sizes available
Go for a "406" and there is a wide range.
The only problem you may have is brakes, and the different depth as the bike probably has 451 due too its age, but then again with a fixed this only a problem on the front. Try and see, if the worst comes to the worst then you may need to get a "deep drop brake" such as the Alhonga

Oh ok, thats why the sprocket on my mess about fixed has come off then...............
And thats why some people ride without lockrings when they could do.........
If its put on tight enough it shouldnt move, and, as i thought you would know Radius, if you put some locktite(or whatever it is called) on then it will lock the sprocket onto the hub, and it wont move.
