i ride SS and i see people with flip flop hubs that rarely or never use the SS side and i have always wondered why would you ride fixed? the only thing i can come up with is not coasting but thats not even that cool. SS is just way more fun

I have a friend with a Langster who's never seen the fixed side too. I don't think he gets it.

i switched my roommates bike to the SS side once just to **** with him before a ride and he got on and almost fell right off....:sinister grin:
