My guess would be you probably need to replace your bottom bracket.

theres nothing in the bottom bracket that could make it do what hes saying. my first guess is ur hub. do you have a freehweel or fixed? I dunno if fixed gear hubs do this but I have experienced this with freewheels.

Yeah your back cog is probably loose, get a better Lockring and make sure its on there really fucking good.Just take it to the bike shop and tell them that you need your back cog tighten. Don't ride hard on it and don't do any skids it will strip the hub and you do not want that.

there are plenty of things in a bottom bracket to break to make that happen.

riding up a hill will tighten your cog. you might need to tighten your lockring?

im almost certain its some part of the hub on you rear wheel and has nothing to do with your cranks or bottom bracket. if you have an extra wheel laying around or one you can borrow change out the rear wheel and go for a test ride in the same kind of riding you did when you had the problem. if it doesnt slip again you will know where ur problem is.

Ok here's the run down.

What type of gearing do you have?
Internal hub? Freewheel? or Cassette?


My guess right off the bat is that you have either a freewheel or internal hub where with the right amount of pressure, it loses grip on the teeth (internally not the cog). This would just call for replacing the freewheel or the hub.


And to clarify:
Your bottom bracket is the piece that connects your crank arms through your frame. If something was wrong with that, it would be either loose, or giving you a grinding feelnig. It has nothing to do with the gears not catching.

Good Luck!

yes exactly, and you can test it out and know for sure by swapping out the rear wheel.

ARE YOU SURE YOUR PEDALS ARE CORRECTLY ATTACHED?

OR YOU CAN TRY ANOTHER BIKE, YOU CAN PROBALLY DISCOUNT THE FACT THAT YOUR BAIN IS 'SLIPPING'. TRY RIDING ANOTHER BIKE, SOMETIMES, BY TRYING ANOTHER BIKE, YOU CAN ALSO DETERMINE THAT YOUR FEET ARE NO ACTUALLY SLIPPING ON YOUR PEDALS.

we should have races where you have to ride with your cranks in that configuration.

if you ride that bike a lot then maybe tighten your crank bolts.

One more thing to consider is what type of frame you are using. I find that not all frames are good for for fixie conversions. Some frames chain stays flex under tension causing the chain to skip. This use to happen on my Univega Rallye conversion a lot. Another friend experienced the same thing on an older Peugeot . We are both over 180 lbs, which can also be a factor.
