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)

c'mon, if you break mash down, it's like 5 minutes tricks, 55 minutes fast riding.

As the person who re-appropriated the word "pitted" to tarck bike slang, I am glad people are getting stoked.

Aluminum oxidizes [same process as anodizing] initially on contact with oxygen. It doesn't create structurally-compromising oxidation like steel... Correct?

We all ride at least 70 Gear inches too. I push 48:17 which is perfect for riding and tarck tircks.

Re: the youtube comments. I deleted anything negative. there was one day when like 25 bmx kids all heckled the **** out of the video. Mildly amusing but in the same sense, really annoying.

edit: and I do stop at red lights before that **** hits the fan

I still grease my parts and bits...

my experience with steel frames in the winter is you spend too much time overhauling the parts. I used to re-grease my seatpost and stem after every icy or wet ride. Aluminum, you don't have to be so obsessive over it...
