Foo - Whats the fastest you can ride a fixed gear

Before getting your legs torn off?

Oh, pretty fast...

X, i gave you my picture in confidence. please do not post it again. thanks.

About 125 mph... requires an airplane though.

43 mph on the flat!

Or, did you mean while pedaling forward?

depends on your gearing. gear inches or whatever, for MPH,KPH.

unless you're talking RPM? I would say ~150. maybe a little more.

I've done 43-44 mph in a sprint (about 100 yards) at the end of a race.

Faster than all the icky roadies

8.0

Went over 30 mph going down a hill. My feet were resting on the downtube though.

The current national record for the flying 200 meter is 10.062 seconds, making the average speed 44.46mph.

I don't have a speedo on my fixie, but I would estimate about 27 mph.

good, that is not me in the picture and the vial does not contain human blood.

Fast enough to make sure nobody has time to recognize my face as I violate the traffic laws like a gimp in the basement.

I don't know why this kid has the steerer jammed up his anus, but it doesn't look pleasant.

He's doing one of those skid stops

That guy needs to be beaten up and have his Aerospokes confiscated.

Rollers or on the street?

31.5 mph on the flats, 33 mph down a 6% hill. 43 x 15 (75 g.i.)

I know what the move is, I just want to know why he has to jam the steerer up his ass while doing it.

Maybe he likes it. I hear that some folks like things stuck up their ass.

Quill stems are a many spendored thing.

1 kmph faster than anyone here.

You're on internet liar

Holy crap!! How do you get that thing started without falling over?

It would have to be a tow- or push-start. There's no way a fixed gear bike intended to go 120-150 MPH is ridable at low speeds. :)

If the bike I found data on is the same one pictured there, the rider is pushing about 380 gear inches. A regular, street-ridden fixed gear bike is usually geared at about 65-75 inches.

looks like it'd be a tow with that gia-normous ball hitch in front of the stem

Oh, I just thought it was a fixed male.
