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)

My next TT protector is definitely going to be a strip of 7.62mm ammo. Badass.

at first i thought "49x16 and platforms?! skitching! kid is gonna die!"

but at least you have two brakes, so i guess it works with the platforms.

Been nato as long as we've used the round. US troops have never been issued .308Win, only 7.62.

yes that is correct. when on a bike, you can hold on to the car and get pulled. you can see it on lucas brunelle's bike messenger video i think. have any of you ever skitched with a fixed gear bike?
