lolz, funny image.

I'll get a set as well if you're interested in splitting shipping/customs etc. Let me know

:lol:
noice! post pics when its done!

nice ride today freecycle

indeed, lovely line through the cars on the homestretch!

oh and granny gear update; ive discovered my nextup chainring is 52t, with my 16 on the back thats 87.78 gear inchez!1!1

i think ill downsize the cog. later. and work on mah souplesse till then.

damn....52/16? thats hella fast man...

/kneecrushing. plus it can get hilly towards north york.im thinking ill pick either 75 or 80 gear in. and then leave it alone, should be fast enough in my cadence to crush n00bz, but wont kill me on the hillier sections.

I was reading about the worlds most travelled man on bicycle, hes been over 4144444 km by since '64!
Hes inspired me to go camping with my bike this summer/make touring bike.

I know a great knee doctor.

good enough for those inches brakeless?!

WHATS HIS NAME.

Where the hell did you guys end up?!?

80 is too much. Especially for rollers. Somewhere between 75-80 is a happy middleground if you're stronger.

im leaning to the 15 cog, five more gear inches should just about do the trick, need more tangy zip in mah miracle whip

You will kill your knees. I did this for two months last fall. 1) Never learned to spin properly at that gearing; 2) Got really tired.

nice ride tonight




those iro hubs look good. how much is customs and shipping? and if its lots, can i get in on the order if its ok.

+1 I'm in if we're doing this, I'll grab at least one set.

Good ride tonight, I'll shrink down/edit the footage to get it online somewhere. Good to see you there TJ.

Nice to put a face to the name, Stuart.

kergin: After heading south off Bloor we went right down to Queensway and east. I'm thinking we should bunch up more every few lights or so - not everyone makes the intersections in the same cycle I guess.

42/15? its five gear inches higher than what im running now, 42/16, and i feel like im working way too hard and going slower than id like, its just an upshift..

i run 80ish but my knees need to be preserved so im going to change to 75ish, at least until there are half decent bionic replacements

I'm going to phone iro tomorrow, will let people know after I get more details.

:lol:

edit: <rant>ok whats tha deal with Tdot 5-0 being so proud of busting a gigantico weed grow op when theres crystal meth/crack/insert other horrible drugz here all over the place making more money and killing more peeps or destroying their lives...</rant>

I keep going down in gear inches. I went from 46x16 to 48x18 and now I'm at 42x16. At 90rpm 46x16 is ~32.6kph and 42x16 is ~29.7kph, which isn't really that great of a difference in cruising speed. That's a 6.6 gear-inch difference. However I find the perceived effort at the same cadence is much lower on the 42x16, so that's the easy winner.

wow! thats dope!

I am running 69.9 and I very rarely get dropped by anyone.

Quite the crowd for the ride in this morning. Nice to see.

There was a ride this morning?

</out of the loop>

aiya, those japanese are so damn clever!

i unno, im going to check the skid patches after typing this and see if ill go to 75, but on the other hand the cardio would probably do me good anyway. Guh, gear inches has to be the most involved descision relating to riding fixed, so many variables.

none of my packages are arriving! im getting ticked. *taptaptaptaptaptap*
