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)

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, i'd actually prefer a wider lockring myself. Makes it stronger and gives it a longer lifespan, especially if you experiment with gears.

Deda Newton Pista stem and Deda Newton Pista bars are meant for each other. Plus, the bar is really light.

Got my saddle today!

the thickness of the shim doesn't matter as long as it is the right size and shape...no pbr can jank ass **** here. a properly machined shim would be fine.

My first changes to my Windsor "The Hour". Don't laugh too hard

(Forgive the ****ty cellphone pictures.. I've lost my camera!)



Changes so far:
-Rattlecan ghetto paint job (Took 2 hours max)
-Mavic CXP22 + Formula hubs
-18t 1/8" Surly Cog
-Switched the horrid pedals with some less horid ones..
-Soon to be front brake (Tektro set from Bikeisland) once I figure out how the hell to assemble it! ( can anyone help a noob?)

Future Upgrades!
-Clipless pedals
-New Saddle
-Possibly new stem
-Bullhorns for messin around


Though it is nothing compared to some of the works of art you guys have... I dig it.

A shim defined as "A thin, often tapered piece of material, such as wood, stone, or metal, used to fill gaps, make something level, or adjust something to fit properly."

If thick ness of the shim doesn't matter then..how will shim fill in the gaps? I ain't being a dick or nothing just that ur logic does not flow. Anyways have a good day.

Oh yer: Negative...good good as long as u have a stem for the right bar..all good.
