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)

usually sweep is measured in degrees???

24 degrees seems ridiculous... and that is the LEAST amount of sweep you can get?

for reference my easton ea50's have 5 degrees of sweep. i think i may like slightly more; like something in the 7-10 degree range.

unfortunately, i'm going to have to retract my membership. after a few weeks of riding risers, i went back to bullhorns. now my wrists don't hurt anymore and i have 3-4 hand positions instead of 1.

Surprisingly WD40 works the best. But all you non-BMX racers wouldn't know about that =P

ya its not a permanent set up. just waiting put my new bars on. want to mess around with height and stuff before i chop the steer tube hence all teh spacers. ya i know many think its lame. i sort of like it tho... i wanted to find a 24seven dark angel bar like this but they aren't to be had anymore. i like the steep neg-rise with the riser look. practical? maybe not but who gives a ****. works just fine for me.
