heres a start
|
Last night I went out to try some skids but I flipped over the hood of two cars and crashed through an old lady's living room window. only got a bloody nose. Then I went back out after fixing the window to try some no-handed trackstands and ended up falling into an open manhole. I love these fixed-gear bikes!!

Yeah, now somebody add some scavengers collecting the fish oil from the skid to make vitamin E.

what's the gearing on that trout?

I fell once, the first time out, because I tried to start standing on the pedal at the bottom of the stroke - it was a big gear 52/16 - and I couldn't pull up the pedal from a dead stop, just fell over sideways. Looked pretty stupid. But that was the only time I fell. Tried to coast a few times, but didn't fall.
Hang in there. |

Might not be applicable to the OP's situation but it helped me get from completely sucking to moderately sucking. evoke0ne You express all the reasons that attract, at least, me to fixed gear riding. It is way different from freewheeling and soon your light will go on and all will be well. Be careful and enjoy. |

But its all good...Im down wore through the tread today, so I have to get new tires... Ill take what the shop suggests...I think they said Specialized All season something or others... w/e...ill let you know how that goes. |
