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)

one flip tab broke while my friend was riding it. we were in a parking lot and he wanted to try my bike out... he was out of the clips and when he left the driveway, it hit the ground where the driveway ends and the street begins.. you know that dip? SNAP it busted off. then like 3 days later i can't remember what i was doing and the other one broke off. they lasted less than 4 months. i'm going to upgrade to royal nuevos soon and put these gr-9s on my ss conversion with some mini clips.

Did this last night to my pedals, thanks for the tip!

I've only been riding with the GR-9s for a few days, but I agree ^^^ they are very comfortable!
