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)

Anyone dare to check these out? My buddy put them on his road bike and loves them.

Anyone have any experience with fixies and Q rings? (Wow, expensive!)

elliptical ring is all I saw and that immediately makes me think of the bio-pace stuff. Which I am pretty sure won't hold chain tension.
