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)

Bikes: '07 Pista, '09 Fantom Cross Uno, '8? Miyata, '67 Stingray, '0? Zoo mod trials, Tallbike, Chopper, '73 Schwinn Collegiate, '67 Triumph Chopper, '69 CB350, '58 BSA Spitfire, '73 CB450

I miss my bike already... had to take my '73 Schwinn collegiate touring out tonight instead (which I love, but it isn't the same as my hoopty Schwinn World)... Think I will ride the tallbike tomorrow.

A friend of mine carries an assembly checklist in his wallet that he refers to every time he reassembles or does maintenance on his bike. He's been riding forever and is an outstanding mechanic but he's also human. I've joked about this but he's never had an issue/problem because of an oversight.

It's rudimentary but an easy and effective way to avoid disaster.
