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)

Am I stupid for having reservations about sticking something as thick as a floppy disc into my spokes? I feel as though they're significantly thicker than a laminated card. Am I wrong?

Whatever design wins out in the end, the "Yeah, I can't believe I'm outside, either" motto must stay. Props to whoever came up with it.

They are thicker, plus it opens the door for sticking any old thin piece of crap in your wheels. I don't mind paper spokecards, but I think anything more would make a bike look junky.

I hear those 5.25s make good CD cases though if you gut them.

maybe the quote goes on the back as a quote, and where you would put the person the quote is from you'd write in your SN?

wow, that one of the more convoluted sentences I've written... kinda like this:

"Yeah, I can't believe I'm outside either"
-- <insert name here>

or it could be done with a cartoon style speach bubble...

The tattoo idea is great. If Bike Forums shuts down there are still other things a simple "BF" tattoo could stand for:

Baby Fat? Boy Friend? Butt ****? Oh the possibilities!

Good idea! Forehead would be a good visible place, and it's still empty and available on tattooed people Anyone down?

Bikes: 2006 Scott Speedster S20, 2005 Trek 7200FX, 1988 White Cannondale Criterium Single Speed Conversion, 1986(?) Peugeot...I don't know what model it is, but it's a road bike

I'm bored...here's a spoke card. Bends in the middle so it can be all printed on one side and then folded over.


*goes back to road forum*

Very nice. Get 5000 printed with glow in the dark ink. I'll take 50.
