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)

cause I haven't taken the cantis off my mountain bike and put em on yet and I wanted to ride! = ]

Are those the Tektro ripoffs of the Paul ripoffs of the Mafacs? If so how easy or hard were they to set up?

they're 4za (these)
and they were a total ***** to set up.

bars were great, but i want them like an inch higher, which is ridiculous with the amount of spacers that're already on there. i need to break down and get something super highrise.
i think that the ourys on the midge bars is the best part. they feel great going over everything.
