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)

This. Move the wheel off the stops (where it will almost never actually be when riding) and tighten the axle nuts. Is it straight then?

Are track ends really that much safer?
