Kinda-sorta.
The wheel size has to match the frame/fork size, and the frame size should match the body size and riding type of the rider.
Overall smaller wheels will be stronger and easier to bring up to speed than bigger wheels. But bigger wheels roll smoother and offer a higher available gearing - which rarely is important outside a race setting.

What is the smallest fixie size?
Considering that a fixie hub can be built into any size rim, you can have a fixie in any size - as long as you're ready to pay for having a wheel built.
What are the key features to consider when choosing a fixie race bike?
When choosing a fixie race bike, key features to consider include the frame material, weight, gearing ratio, wheel size, and overall fit for your body size and riding style. These factors can impact the bike's performance and your comfort during races.
What is the purpose of a fixie cog in a fixed-gear bicycle and how does it affect the overall performance of the bike?
The purpose of a fixie cog in a fixed-gear bicycle is to directly connect the pedals to the rear wheel, allowing the rider to control the bike's speed and direction by pedaling forward or backward. The size of the fixie cog affects the gear ratio, which in turn impacts the bike's speed, acceleration, and overall performance.

Do normal rear bicycle wheels work with fixies?
Depends entirely on what you think of as a "normal" bicycle wheel. An externally geared wheel is unlikely to work very well, as it has a longer axle and will require a wider dropout spacing than a fixie wheel. On top of that you might get into chainline and gear ratio issues, not to mention that the fixie chain might not sit comfortably on multi-gear sprockets. If you get the urge to turn the fixie into a geared bike, there are a bunch of brackets and attachments that your frame will be missing which will have to be sorted out. A wheel with internal gears is more like to fit both dropout width and chain width, but again using those gears will require some work. Replacing a fixie wheel with a single-speed wheel is usually easily doable, they tend to be a direct fit.
If a bike has semi-horizontal dropouts can it be turn into a fixie?
Any bike can be turned into a fixie, at varying degrees of difficulty. But if the rear wheel can be moved back & forth to adjust chain tension it'll be so much easier.
How can I properly install a fender on my fixie bike to protect myself from splashes and debris while riding?
To properly install a fender on your fixie bike, follow these steps: Choose a fender that fits your wheel size and frame. Attach the fender to the fork and seat stays using the provided hardware. Adjust the fender to ensure proper coverage and clearance from the wheel. Test the fender by riding in wet conditions to ensure it effectively protects you from splashes and debris.
What are the key features of the original fixie bike design?
The original fixie bike design features a single-speed drivetrain, a fixed gear that is directly connected to the rear wheel, no freewheel mechanism, and a simple, minimalist frame with no gears or brakes.
What is the recommended wheel size for a bicycle with the keyword 622 wheel size?
The recommended wheel size for a bicycle with a 622 wheel size is 700c.
How can I design my own fixie bike online?
To design your own fixie bike online, you can use a custom bike builder tool on a website that specializes in fixie bikes. Start by selecting the frame size and color, then choose components like handlebars, wheels, and pedals. Customize the bike to your preferences and budget, and make sure to double-check all selections before finalizing your order.
How can I install a fixie mudguard on my bike?
To install a fixie mudguard on your bike, first, gather the necessary tools such as a screwdriver and the mudguard kit. Next, position the mudguard under the seat and align it with the wheel. Use the screws provided in the kit to attach the mudguard securely to the frame of the bike. Make sure it is positioned properly to prevent interference with the wheel. Test the mudguard by riding the bike and adjusting as needed.
Where can you buy fixie bikes?
Don't think you can, unless you pay someone to build you a 24" wheel round a fixie hub. Fixed gear bikes are almost only used for road/track cycling, while 24" is MTB DH/ Dirt territory, where a fixie would be really awkward. Easiest kludge is probably to find a bike with 24" disc brake wheels, then slap on a Tomicog. I'll post a link about them. Remember that you need to ditch the rear derailer, and that the frame has to have horizontal dropouts.
