[QUOTE=darkmother]I've got the sram removable link on all 5 of my bikes, including my 2 fixies, and one SS mtb. Never had a problem with any of them, QUOTE]
Yet. I will pass on the slightest chance my chain could fail...but I ride brakeless and a chain failing in NOT an option.

From my POV, the sram link is well designed and it doesn't worry me even on my brakeless wonder. I hope that my trust is not ill founded. (now I'm really setting myself up aren't I? I predict catastrophic masterlink failure within 20 km)

If anyone has a cheap dual pivot front brake they want to get rid of, bring it by Cycle Therapy today and I'll toss you some cash. We don't have any used options here and Ultegra is just a biiit out of my price range.

Girl on fixie = bike boy magnet.
Thus I have learned in the past 5 months. Just now, riding home and waiting for the light, a guy comes through the intersection on a Fuji track, gives me a "hey there pretty lady" look, and pulls a showy fishtailing skid. Not that I'm getting big headed. I'm pretty sure if we gave Eyefloater a blonde wig with pigtails and got him to ride his new Pake around downtown for awhile, he could score 5 numbers in under an hour.

Haha, as noted, my head isn't getting big, since I know it's all about the bike.

Ok, first off I look ****ing awesome in drag so I could totally pull 5 numbers in an hour no problem regardless of what bike I'm on. Honestly.
Second, the basement of Cycle Therapy is now littered w/ Rubino skid marks. I can't wait to get off work today and unleash Spastic Fantastic on the streets of Toronto.
