Hey I got a fixed gear bike like last week (bikes direct kilo tt!!!!) but I am having trouble coasting, whenever I stop pedaling the cranks still rotate. Whats the deal?

Return it. Tell them it wont coast. I'm sure they'll take care of it.

no

I think I am going to take it to my LBS (local bike shop) too see if they can fix it, maybe it just needs some more grease?

try hitting the cranks with a heavy hammer until they give

How to coast:

1.Remove Brakes & toe clips+straps
2.Find the steepest longest hill you can.
3. Pedal as fast as you can down the hill.
4. Take feet off pedals.
5. You are now coasting.

Someone made this joke yesterday.

I am going to take my brake off whenever they fix it (I am all about simplicity and low profile, kind of a zen thing).

Anyways how do I re-wrap bars? Can someone show me a tutorial? Also I have the green kilo tt, do you think white would be good or should I get something out there, like yellow?

this isn't a joke, I crashed yesterday because of it, thanks for making a mockery of me like you did that guy.

there is a guide in my sig on bar wrapping

I need one on how to wrap bars without brakes, I think its a lot different. I wont be riding with brakes (I will be riding brakeless) so I need a diff tutorial, thanks though!

Why do you want bar tape that just slows you down, also bar ends are a terrible idea.

OWNED!

why are all of the OPs in here such flockin' idiots?

damnit, do a search and stop wasting my extremely valuable time which I spend on here because I'm awesome, and you're not.

you have an anime avatar

So that explains why I rarely break 30mph on my commute. Danged bar tape!

Next time you crash and mellon-ball your spleen with the open bar end, you will realize the value of bar end plugs.

The spleen will only slow you down.

i dont see how you could miss the clear facetiousness of this thread

shhhh!

and jeez, there's no need to get personal, leave his face out of it.

Didn't miss it. Trying to perpetuate it.

That got the best laugh out of me all night.

this is the best thread in months!

This thread must be for senior members only, because I don't get it.
