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)

^ Every two weeks? That 's a pain. Are you sure the wheel is properly tensioned?

the rear, no it isn't tensioned correctly. plus skidding and other silliness can't help any

when i was lacing them, i got stress cracks around a few of the holes. they arent eye-letted
eventually I am going to lace the hub to a stronger eye-letted mavic or something similar. but since i only paid nine bucks for the rim i can wait till it breaks.
