i have i fixed gear/freewheel bike and right now its on the freewheel side. i wanna switch it to the fixed side but ive never done it my self. can anyone tell me how to take the rear wheel off and switch it?
 
Loosen the nuts on the axle on both sides. Push the wheel forward to get chain slack, take the chain off of the front chain ring. Pull the wheel back out turn the wheel around and put the chain on. place the wheel in the dropout and push it forward. put the chain back on the front chain ring and pull the wheel back. Center the wheel and pull it back until you have 1/2 inch deflection in the chain at the center.
