I decided to try my bike out as fixe and didn't really like the wheel base length so I shortened the chain then after realizing that the axle was on the edge of the dropouts lengthen it again. So I decided to ride down to tower downtown (to get a Turo Takemitsu cd). Well I got there and as I riding back uptown at about 8th street I hear clink............clink...........clink.............SNAP! Yada yada yada I wound up taking the F train back to house with the chain in my hand.
