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?

Right now, you need to get those endomorphins going. Do you have another bike you can swop components with so you can ride?

Nah, The fixed I built to see if it's for me is on 27's and a suicide hub. Plus this is my first threadless headset. Still need a rim to lace up my rear wheel and I'm hoping not to settle for less than a king headset. Basically, I have a ways to go.

i think what u did was way cool and fair to mozzy66. i really liked the way the whole thing played out and i don't think it was bad enough to get deleted. i learned a lot by reading posts from people i've never seen.

Boise is shockingly courteous to riders. Shockingly. Seattle was funner though. Traffic dodging here is boring. Well, maybe not for this guy at 2:55

We were getting flooded with reports mid day when only a few mods were around. I believe at least some of the removed posts / threads have been returned after they were looked at by additional moderators.

I really am calling it a night now. Ya'll have a good evening.

Thanks.
So I can't ask for advice on how to convince my wife that a fixed gear takes up less room than a geared bike and thus I should be allowed to add one of those to my collection even though I'm already at my agreed upon limit?

Good night man.


Re: the wifey...she is way hotter than a fixed gear. I think you should keep her, and convert one of the road bikes.
