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)

more trendiness.

Chombo - i have a pair, and i dont think there good for riding. The soles are not stiff and the velro straps can get caught on your clips and straps. I only paid $40 for mine so i dont feel so bad.

The pegboard in the kitchen only works if it absolutely never gets wet at all ever, that particleboard shizz swells and stains in a heartbeat, even if you paint it. Previous occupants of my place gifted me with that knowledge.

This thread rules.

Given adidas's track record with similiar straps on the addistar I predict a week-month of daily riding till those little cords fray.

Simple answer? They make plastic pegboard now. Made out of lexan if I recall correctly. Prime it with some Zinsser and hit it with whatever wall paint you want.

Doesn't Journeys stock these in like 80 different colors?

I may be handing out outdated information though. I haven't been to a mall in like 2 years.

Yeah, I've seen plastic stuff in restaurant kitchens, though it was more like cutting board material (HDPE maybe?) and fish scale textured, I figured it would be teh sux to try to paint. Anyway, I'm not repeating the experiment any time soon, I'm happy with knife block, pitcher full of cooking utensils, and bananas in a basket.

WRONG!

Banana bread FTW. Or banana chip cookies. Sometimes I buy too many and then refuse to eat them so my wife will make goodies.

i personally use the hangar method, and as stated above me, if they get too musty, i just make banana bread. i find it's the most cost effective.
