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)

Wow! 72T is quite large! I'm impressed! But the real question here is what in the world possessed you to go
skatin' down riverside park this mornin' ...
?

(Unless by skatin' you meant riding your fixed just gliding along as if you were on skates and not inline skating.)

From: south side, you got a problem with that?
that dude is prolly the guy from toga bikes, although i thought that was an 80-something chainring.
riding a huge gear slowly on occassion is good for your stroke, just as riding a ridiculously light gear once in a while is good for you.
