Smash said:I'm no pro but a few ideas / double-checks for starters:
* Is the chainline still straight? Perhaps the fixed cog isn't spaced the same as the freewheel, and the chain is going in or out too far on the fixed side.
* Is the fixed cog smaller, possibly causing a slack chain?
* Is the back wheel pointed straight? One time on a SS freewheel I didn't check the back wheel enough after adjusting for chain slack and it was pointed a little to the left--I wasn't losing my chain every 10 feet, but it did have a tendency to pop off on bumps. Note that I don't mean out of true, I mean that I literally just needed to pull the axle a little farther back on the right side.
Hope it helps!
This could help. It does seem that the chain does have more slack. How can I fixe this. Do i need to buy a new chain. I am new to have a fixed gear.

pull your wheel back, i am assuming you have track fork ends on that redline
