Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - STP: SEA to PDX... on a fixed gear?

Has anyone done this ride (or one like it) on a fixed gear? Can it be done..?

Yes it can be done, people have done farther distances fixed.

no problem

I would bet that there's at least a few people out there who've done the STP on a fixed gear...

East Hill

I've got a Chitown to C-bus trip planned for the fall. 400m total shouldnt be too bad, contemplating runing a dinglecog for the last third that has a stepper hills. The Moto' needs some TLC before had but trip plans are till in the works.

I say...plan well and pack light and plan again. Good luck!

what advantage would a dinglecog have over a regular fixed/fixed flip flop? you still have to get off the bike and loosen the chain. i've considered setting up a dinglecog, but it means a smaller chain and chainring, too. so the costs add up.

I guess it was more of an on the fly idea and I hadnt processed it much. A F/F sounds like a better idea!@

uhh..

Done it.

people have started doing RAAM (ride across america) fixed

People started doing that type of thing before freewheels were invented...

the first tour de france was fixed only holmes..
