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)

Is it grease or Loctite for light bulb threads? I can never remember.

Is it one of those crazy French threaded bulbs or an NJS bulb?

Bikes: Converted 1997 Trek Singletrack 930 singlespeed and a Kona Lavadome singlespeed, fixed Dahon folding bike, fixed 27" Miyata road bike, early 70's Raleigh Chopper

I'd have to say none. If it's not on our bikes then we have no idea on how to fix it. Let the significant other do it but if he/she also rides then in the dark they stay.

On the other hand, if you did a really good tape job before you painted, then I'd say it would only take one to change the lightbulb.

Next.

one to change it, and half a dozen to ***** about how lightbulbs are just hipster fashion bull*****, and if you were really hardcore, you wouldn't care about being able to see, anyway.
