As the title states found this earlier today. If it is a fixxer, is there a way to stop the hub from freewheeling? Fixxer or not this was a pretty good find.

that looks like a spacer kit from surly to run 1 cog on a freehub body, not a fixer.
Not a fixxer
It’s just a spacer kit for running a single speed cog on an HG style freehub. https://surlybikes.com/products/spacer-kit
I’ve never seen radial spokes on a drive side before. But it seems like that’s the only way to build that hub. Seems like a bad design.

Nice find!
Nope. It’s for a hyperglide splined hub. Surly DOESN’T make a set that works with fixed. They make cogs that work but not the entire kit like you see here. Only for single speed setups.
That’s a wheel made for geared bike, with spacers installed in it to be usable as single speed. Not fixed gear.
