Two new converts to fixed gear: me and my Fuji. I gathered up most of the stuff and fixed it up tonight, just using a track cog on the freewheel hub. I'm running 42 x 16 x 27". I took the back brake off too, and now part of that lever acts as a dummy until I get a better setup with a BMX lever for the front. I'm using toe clips, and the old steel crank set is on there until I can get a new chainring and hook up the newer ones I have lying around. I had to re-dish the rear wheel a little bit, which wasn't much of a problem, although I do have to go over it and make sure it's nice and true tomorrow.

I went out and rode around a bit tonight in a parking lot across the street, and it was pretty great. I found my previously well-honed bunnyhopping skills vanished as soon as I had to keep the pedals going; I'll have to work on that as time goes on. However, I was able to skid a little bit, which made me happy. After a few minutes I was starting to feel normal again. My knees feel a little funny, which I guess is because of the skidding attempts and poor bunnyhopping.

Besides what I mentioned above, my bike looks soooo much cooler. Mmmmm.... fixie.
