turned my old lotus triomphe into a fixie two days ago. first off what a rush, it really does make you feel the bike. anyways i had the brilliant idea to practice track stands in the parking lot...with look pedals. happily i wisened up midly after planting my self into the pavement once, so I moved onto the grass. for the next half hour i practiced in the middle of the town common, falling on my ass about every 5 minutes because i was clipped in, all the while smiling like a maniac which im thinking a good portion of the town believed i was as i continued to keep falling over :D
end results:
one wheel out of true :rolleyes: but thats an excuse to learn how to true a wheel
im able to do a track stand for about 20 seconds
total and utter obsession with my fixie
question, how do i keep my rear wheel in line? just rely on the bolts or should i see if i can reinstall the screws in the dropout?
thanks
