Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Got my spin finally!

I finally am able to spin at what seems to me like rediculously fast rpm's! I deal with an underpass on my daily commute that is pretty steep. Usually I keep my speed down, but for the last two days, I just put my butt a little further back on the saddle and let'r rip, not slowing down at all. I'm getting to a good 25-27mph on my bike, and its geared at 69 gear inches. I don't know what RPM that is, but I've never been able to spin that fast without bouncing around like crazy. Now, if I could just increase my speed on the flats!
