2 days, and another thing that you can't coast down fast hills of which I have alot of here. Like no human can pedal that fast and I end up using the brakes or legs to slow me down, talk about a waste of energy!
I moved to SS and its so much nicer for me. Fixies do have a more direct feel and you get that feeling of inertia which is cool, but for me the fixie isnt worth it for that TINY bit of feel. Like yea I could spend a month getting used to it but why bother?
