i can has barspinz?

well this is my sketchy video in a desperate effort to do my 700c barspinz. I had to:

flip the right pedal over and use the bottom
file off the tabbie
start with my pedals verticle.

not trying to show off or think i'm cool. I fully understand that i'm in the initial stages of cleanliness in these executions. Although i wanted to give the other short people with 700c fronts hope. Cause there is hope!

Yep. I have overlap as well with my Surly and BMW fork. Pretty much any 700c barspin will have overlap. Get used to it.

Neat little trick, that one would make me feel cool taking off at an intersection. I couldn't help but laugh at this thread title. Is the intentional misspelling really necessary?

It's a Surly. Not a track bike. I have a track bike and I have a bike that's just used for everyday use. Also, if you use Firefox, you can catch those pesky misspellings.

my brothers 53 iro has 700c bar spins.. he had to get super small 700c tires though..but he gets em! it's janky to get though b/c it hits the pedals if you don't know the proper pedal placing for them..but if you do.. it's easyyy

Hve you seen the bar/seat setupz kids in MASH have? Those guys are so crazy and probably on edge from the painful riding, nobody talks **** cause they might get attacked.

Using your logic then I shouldn't take my negativity elsewhere. I want to be negative and **** on everyone's hopes and dreams... because I "want too".

I wouldn't want to leave my garage if I was running that Spinergy, either.

I'm glad you looped that like 8 times on the youtube clip. It was really hard to catch all of the idiocy the first time around, and the slow motion really helped me suck it all in.

EDIT - I can't believe the word dou-che is edited out here. How are the ladies in the women's forum supposed to talk about feminine cleanliness?

No, because what you are saying effects someone. He is having fun, you're trying to reduce his fun.
