Hi guys,

Over the weekend I built up a white industries eno hub, slapped a track cog, then put it on my commuter. I had never tried a fixed gear machine, and I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. I must say, it is really cool! Reminds me of a car with a manual transmission compared to an automatic-more skill required, but much more engaging. I'm still a little nervous in traffic and on snow and ice, but I can totally see the appeal. Smooth and connected to the road.

BTW, what kind of gearing are you guys running? I've got a 44t chainring to a 15t track cog on a 700x25 wheel. Its not bad, but I'm thinking I could go a little lower for better braking and accelleration. I'm riding in stop and start traffic, and the terain is pretty flat.

Cheers,

Jeremy
