I wanted to know how to make a fixed gear bike from a mountain bike. Moreover, the parts needed and where to get them. I’d appreciate anything anyone can tell me.

it is pretty difficult to turn a mountain bike into a fixed gear since mountain bikes usually have vertical drop outs instead of horizontal but it can be done. you have to re-bulid the wheel completely using a fixed hub or a flip flop hub

good luck but if you really want to enjoy the beauty of fixed gear use a road bike when i converted my mountain bike to fixed the chain kept falling off because the geometry just isnt perfect make sure you use one of those gizmos to keep the chain tight
One persons opinion.
Wear body armour if you do this.
Please.
