All of this advice has been excellent, here are a couple of fixes of sounds that have cropped up on my fixie that have not been covered yet,
check the chainwheel bolts and both crank arms. putting back pressure on the cranks is not considered pleasant to both of these mechanical fixtures. I check mine every couple of weeks. check for a sticking link in the chain. this will be accentuated with a
chainline that is not spot on. a slight clattering sound indicates (to me) the need of a lubricant renewal.
