Fixed Airnimal

http://www.foldsoc.co.uk News Section

V nice job - using the White Industries ENO hub. The riding position is TT-esque and I doubt he will still be in that tuck in 10 years time! The fold is bad, (the Chameleon is a travel bike really) so it is unfair to criticise the partial fold. Anyway, good to see another fixed folder in London, but I would not like to come up against him at the lights!

A few things in the write-up could be challenged a) 3/32 chains are plenty strong enough, b) on a 20" folder with (406s) a 53/13 combo will give more gear inches than the 53/16 he is running with 24" wheels without recourse to a large chainring c) 300 rpm without resistance if you are an ultra -spinner/freak, but not on the road!

I am still waiting to hear when the ss/fixed Rhino will be available...
