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)

Hmm, I'll have to let them know about that. Either way, it needed to be rebuilt either as a different pattern or to relace all the radial spokes. As for 4 cross rather than 3 cross: They didn't have the right length in the shop to do a 3 cross, and I still want to have a lil' sumphin' different than the usual 3 cross and it just happened to work that way. Not like I got over-paranoid about the wheel and decided to go suuuuuper bombproof. Either way it should be pretty rad.
