Good point: I don't want to suggest one is superior to the other at ALL. I was simply interested in the relevance of this [someone else brought up the idea, not me]. I AM reading a thread in the singlespeed and fixed gear sub-forum, so I figured this post must have something to do with the kind of bike being ridden. Obviously, my mistake for assuming the sub-thread title is in any way related to the OP topic.

I will let you guys return to your regularly-scheduled agreement about the insanity of the cop's behavior [in which I share completely]. -JP
