Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

i bought compact drops for my felt breed but the curve begins further back so my hoods effectively move 1" towards me. adding a longer stem could rectify the issue but then i loose the ability to put my body weight really far back on sketchy rough or slippy decents by placing my hands on the tops. i dont know what to do about it. i'll probably post with pics about this in the carlton or scrod threads. feel free to comment there.

yes i like corncobs. my miyata currently has a triple with said corncob lol

you need less short reach drops, which is not a bad problem to have.
