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)

FG conversion bikes uses for leftover cable guides and der hanger threads?

I've been considering uses for lonely top tube brake cable guides and derailer hanger bolt threaded holes. Was thinking of grinding down the long end of an allen wrench for Phil track hub bolts and storing in a cable guide. Could also heat and flatten the beam section of a 15MM wrench, drill a hole to bolt it to the derail hanger with a home made wing bolt. What ideas have you for utilizing these lonely attach points?

If you suggest doobies in the cable guides, go sleep in a van down by the river.

These should be sawed off along with the brake bridge, to make sure it can never be unconverted. All in for the win.

Maybe group buy could be initiated for a van hulk. Riverside location will be not of your choosing. Missouri is kind of out of the question right now due to flooding.

Unless we have some benevolent members from Colorado, it'll also be BYOD.

Have you not smoked enough meth today? I feel like you could be going a lot bigger.

i like to take pictures of them lying in a waste basket, and then find some lame excuse to include them in my posts on C&V.
