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)

Pronunciation oh yeah!

Just because I'm a curious tool, tell me how to pronounce your forum handle.

Mine is "ell TWAY."

jaah shoo uhh starr.

i really prefer an "*" instead of "star" but this forum doesn't allow it.

but if that's the case, it could be either:

jaah shoo uhh ass terik

or the aforementioned

jaah shoo uhh starr.

and possibly even

jaah shoo uhh starruh.

depending on where you're from and who your parents are.

but if you ever pronounce it

jaah shoo uhh starruh.

i will. hit you.

i will.
