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)

My FG now has two speeds..

Can I still hang out here?

No I didn't hack a Sturmey Archer..

I recently took off my 41T rocket ring (poorly machined piece of crap with teeth of varying thickness), and put on a nice 40T Shimano 600.

As well, I've complemented my existing 15T DuraAce cog, with a 16T Surly on the flip side.

Why would I gear down so much?
To tow stuff of course!

I can't wait to load up the BOB tonight and see what 5.46 metres development feels like =D
(probably 6% slower than my existing ratio)

Thats all. No pics yet. Just me being excited.
