flop flop hubs
 

are obviously more versatile than non-flip flop hubs, but on to the more serious question...on average do you loose cool points, like with using a front brake?

why does it matter?

yeah you become super non-cool if you ride a front e-brake, unless its disc; but you get at least 4 cool points for running a rear brake.

how many cool points is it again for a hotel on top tube?

cant i just trade ss/fg railroad for it??

Fixed/fixed hubs are even more versatile, as you can run a freewheel on either/both sides, and/or a cog and lockring on either/both sides.

i got a flip flop wheelset from ben's bike. less than 10 minutes after i opened the box this guy called me a ******bag and kicked me in the junk. it was really weird because i was in my shed and i don't have a clue where he came from.

i redeemed my cool points for a yo-yo

people ride bicycles in kansas?

AHAHAHAHAHA i had something similar happen to me too, except i didn't get mine from ben's bike and it was this old lady with a walker who smacked me in the head with the said walker, and i was in my bathroom.

i wouldn't know. i live in missouri.

i don't ride mine though. i just walk it to the coffeeshop and take pictures of it for myspace.

ok that makes sense then, you may as well put a huge chainring on it.

fear not! any cool points lost by running a flip/flop and front brake can be made up by bustin' a natty fab

forget the cool points, how many of you even use flip (or flop) side of hub? If you don't, why?
I don't because I'm, too cheap to get a freewheel

a cog has never seen my freewheel side. it remains lonely, neglected and forgotten. reason? $1 cog < $2cogs

I like the word cog. cog cog cog.

that reminds me of when i was driving through chicago for a job interview and i kept thinking:

Wacker wacker wacker wacker wacker . . . .

I have a flip-flop and a front brake.
I'm hoping my old canvas Timbuk2 which proves I was there first cancels out one.
Then I'm going to get a chopped brooks to cancel out the other.
Then I'm going to sand some flat spots in my new tire so it looks like I skid all the fscking time.

And people complain about OCP in the Roadie forum; SS/FG works it so much harder. After I get moved into my new digs I'm getting a fixie with a flip-flop hub and a front brake and a bell and I'll be wearing an official "Loyal Order of the Buffalo" hat.

you lose ALL your cool points for asking.

I have yet to use the other side of my flip flop hub. I guess it's because I don't have any hills around here. You can redeem your cool points by entering Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, select, start at the beginning of any Natty Fab. That's what is said in Game Informer magazine.

Geez, I had none to begin with, so now I'm negative cool. I'm leaving work right now, I'll pull some natty fabs at a few traffic lights. How many natty fabs should I do to make up for asking, and how long should I hold them, or is that not a factor. Do a certain number of people need to see the natty fabs for them to count? Man this is compicated...

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, (select optional), start

you loose all cool points for watching star trek----geek---you're almost as bad as those nerds who post all day on bikeforums---or 15 yrs later can remeber the cheat code to contra

have you ever heard the band up up down down left right left right BA select start?

I'ver heard of them. Did I put in the wrong code? I think I did, I didn't get cool points, but instead I got like, 30 extra lives. My bad, folks.

Waitaminute Skanking Biker, how did you know it was the code to Contra? Pot, kettle? :D
