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)

Is 45x18 all that massive? I say it is not.

Pro riders won't even waste comp wheels like that on their training bikes, but you have knuckleheads using them to go down stairs and practice bunnyhops.

I think it's stupid that you give a fly F what people put on their bikes.
