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)

I have a Crank Brothers Multi 17. It's lasted me a year, and it's my primary tool as I don't have a home kit.

Went to work, then to class, had Thai food with some friends, swapped a 48T chainring for my 46T in hopes that it will make riding my rollers a little less... aerobically exhausting. Went on a 5 minute ride and I think it's going to be a bit better.

I have black hubs and spokes for mine. But can't decide whether to use silver nipples or black. I'm leaning towards silver.

What are you using?

It's not getting passed, at least in its current state. But if it did, yes, bikeforums would be affected. Bikeforums would be held responsible for anything its users post. Really good explanation here (youtube).

I think you mean IB-3. I carry one, but have yet to try the chain tool part. I got mine for only $20 from RG.

Yesterday my main place of employment and favorite bar, along with some friends apartments across the street from mine went up in flames. Pretty bummed/out of a job.

The investigators were there all night but we haven't heard for sure. Most likely, the building is pretty old. Can't collect unemployment so let's hope reconstruction is speedy. Just stoked none of my friends got hurt.
