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)

That's exactly how they sound, like i'm peeling them off the ground each rotation. Ugh i guess it's time to get skid happy and then get some proper tires.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty new to this and was just contemplating the world of buying tires yesterday.
