Be careful my friends!

First off, let me say that until recently, I never thought I’d chase down Campy either. BUT...

I bought a bike late last year. It was outfitted with perfectly fine Japanese parts, and it had a flip flop hub installed, set up fixed gear.






I rode it around the city for a little bit until my left knee started to suffer. So I turned the bike over, set it on a park bench, and proceeded to flip the hub over so I could freewheel.






Well, with the wheel off, I discovered the bike held a dirty little secret...






That dropout set me on a downward spiral! I had to make this bike “right.” And here I am now less than two months later to warn you Campy is nothing to flirt with. Because as you can see...




I shouldn’t have ever flipped that hub!!!
