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)

Hey! SC people!

I'm running with 48/16 at the moment. I'll soon be adding a cog to the other side to make those hills a little more manageable.

I did it for a while, pretty fun. Plus, 46x18 is really fun, and 46x17 is good. Options!
