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)

Interesting. I used the same product and am not seeing the same resistance, even with 3+ coats of each step.

How long did you let it sit before use?

Surprisingly it was well cured after 3 days, but it wasn't ridden for about a week.


Did you follow the instructions on the clear? It said you needed to shoot the clear within an hour of putting on the last coat of color.

there is nothing better than setting up a bike for your significant other. especially when they get super stoked on their first ride with it.
