bonechilling, what's with this whole ******bag attitude you have over half of the things i post? are you mad because someone from portland ****ed you over at some point in your life and now you hate every average joe from that city? i realized it was an impractical thing to do, the tieing/soldering, after about the 6th post in this thread, . this thread is now just a discussion over whether it actually adds more power transfer or placebo.

if you're just seeing me as some hipster with the sweet track build that rides twice a month and only for the purpose of showing my bike off at the coffee shop / "cool" bar / wherever else, you have it pretty bassackwards: i don't own a car, i hate the bus, i ride freewheels but don't enjoy them as much as fixed, so my track bike is how i get to everywhere i go. and sprinting is about my favorite thing to do on it, i wish i could make it to the track more often but work schedules / other obligations get in the way.

have a nice day bonechilling, i mean it!
