Question for you: Is the shifting so out-of-whack you can't tune it and actually just ride it with shifting?
I own a SS/Fixie and commute on it, but it's got a near zero dish rear flip-flop hub designed for the purpose. I guess I don't understand why someone would take a bike that has shifting on it already, and components for multiple cogset in the rear and disable it, unless the rear derailleur is so bad or the shifters so non-functional, I have to disable it. I guess I'm not really understanding the point of going ghetto SS with the setup.
