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)

I once (or twice, or maybe even half a dozen times, its hard to remember) went to these group rides where the leader instead of taking us on a tour of the city told us all these places we needed to go (and freakin' didn't even tell us where they were or how to get there, some leader) and made us even get off our bikes and play stupid party games at some places then some how we ended up at some bar and I don't remember the rest, but I woke up the next day with a piece of paper stuck in my spoke.

lol.

Examine the rooster sauce. Huy Fong Inc. makes it. And it is awesome.

Edit: also, I like where this thread is going.

I prefer to make my own sauce from chilis & tomatoes from the garden including chilis: habenero, chiltepine, fresno, new mexico #6, gypsy, poblano, anaheim, cayenne - some roasted first

you know what the scary thing is? rooster sauce can be made even better with the addition of hoisin sauce! 5050 mix is a good place to start.

hoisin is good, but golden mountain seasoning sauce was my favorite until i re-discovered braggs. mmm-mmm. i make a dipping sauce for fries, etc, that's equal parts bragg's, sriracha, and ketchup (i prefer organic stuff, it tastes more tomato-ey than heinz style crap, more like home made ketchup)

I grow my own, too. This year I'm growing Jalapeno, Poblano, NuMex Big Jim, Habanero Gold, Tabasco, Datil, Szentesi Semi-Hot, Santa Fe Grande, Peter Pepper, and the crazy-hot Naga Morich (>1,000,000 Scoville heat units). I'm also growing 2 varieties of sweet peppers.

There's a really good pepper information site here: https://www.thechileman.org/index.php

And a very good Forum here: https://www.chillisgalore.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php


To the OP: don't feel too bad, it took me a while to figure out the whole spoke card thing, too.

back ON topic:

i saw this thread and thought I might have something to contribute,
after reading the OP i had second thoughts, but whatevs...

So I've been printing out flyers for bike polo and sticking them in the spokes of bikes around town
I fold the 80lbs paper in half and slip them in the front wheel.

Looks like a spoke card, but I have serious doubts that it would hold up very well after a week
