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)

The only way I could "view new posts" was to first "search the forums" then run around with that until something finally woke up. Geeeesssshhhh, what a nightmare.

I think they installed a new "useless bull****" filter.
So, if your thread or reply doesn't seem to load, it's because it's getting stuck in the filter.
