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)

Duh! Now I get it. it is for a frame that doesn't have bosses. I thought you screwed it into the bosses and held the pump on with the velcro.

To be fair, you are always trying to make your bike lighter (cut seatpost to save a few grams...), the Ti spindles would help achieve that.
