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)
I've been using some Thor supermoto gloves - bought them for the moto, decided there was no way I'd still have skin on my hands if I fell at those speeds, but they should hold up just fine on the bicycle.
