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 haven't kept up with every episode of Hypnotoad Build so help me understand - the posts on the fork are used as rack mounts while the chainstay posts are just kinda dangling out there so...

Are there discs hidden behind the hub and cassette? Can that even be possible because of the width of the dropouts? Do I see a cable going down the NDS fork? Are the brakes in the hubs?

I guess what I'm asking is, how does that thing stop?

Drum brake in the front hub.

Rear brakes go on the posts under the chainstays.
@Mumonkan can explain with luxury of detail.

Udders? I thought you just had small feet!

Thanks tho. Brakes like 7-11. Not much good but always there when you need it.

Was this made possible because of the change in chain line from going 1x10?

Also, that is pretty awesome, 2.25 leaves "Monstercross" territory and crosses into "MTB" land.

How much do you weigh? I would imagine you're pretty light, given your size, and with 28c/32c tires, 70/65 psi seems really really high.

My plan is to buy the bike, then purchase a Dura Ace 9000 groupset for it. The 11sp 105 that comes on the Venge will go onto my steel training bike, so it will also serve as a way to convert both bikes to 11. Not sure what I'm going to do with the wheels that come on the venge, maybe sell them or just have them as spares. It is going to ride the ptap/Hed Belgium wheels that I have for training, and carbon tubulars for racing.

My trusty old caad9 will live at my parent's as a spare/backup bike.
Very solid plan

About 135 lbs. According to some formulas I use, those pressures are correct for my weight.

Huh. Whatever works then I guess haha. I'm running 75/80 with 25s, and I already have upped pressures to account for not having tubeless anymore, and I weigh 160.
