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)

Bomb Proof yall....

Just a little off topic,but I build the worlds largest single phase electric motors(100+ H.P.) and this is one of the bearings we use. If i could jam that thing into my Formulas,my wheels would survive the Apocolypse. Just for reference....the spot next to it is a quarter. the bering measers almost 11" across.



sorry for crappy cell phone pic.

So I'm guessing some kind of industrial application... because 100hp/ea is not enough for a train either.
