"Note to Self:

Carry a lighter until I convert the POS Winter Beater into a fixed gear. Thanks Axon for the idea.

The POS winter Beater...."

This is my first winter riding fixed although I have logged a lot of fixed miles on the pavement and trails and am not new to winter riding.

I have to say that my Kuwie is a far better bike as a fixed gear than it was as an SS running the same gearing as the fixed drive is more efficient, climbs better, and offers far more control when things are sketchy.

That and the fixed cog won't pack it in at -30... I would highly advise using synthetic grease if you are riding in uber cold temps as this will keep things spinning freely.
