If you can't maintain and use a freehweel and a brake, you shouldn't be riding...

Anyway, this IS the SSFG forum, so you just shut up or hassle the mods to change the situation. Currently, SSers are welcome.

I like to think that SS and FG are brothers, so a common forum is logical. The drivetrain is so similar that it makes sense from a mechanics point of view. If you stop your silly childish hating, it'll be nice and cozy in here for everyone.

Actually, I see no problem with riding a track frame SS. It makes sense if you want SS and aggressive geometry, or just a 700C SS that doesn't have the useless crap like der. hangers. It's not like it damages the frame.

(I ride fixed)

Edit: too lazy to read all the crap. If you were jokin, brunop, then you are not a dick. You just have a crappy sense of humour.
well said.
