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)

Legit. They were hunting gazelles or some shiz. It was quite a few years ago...I had fallen asleep watching TV and when I woke up, I was like "I know these two voices". It was so weird.

Go apply at any auto insurance company, and tell them that you want to work in auto subrogation.

Tell him he installed a defective cog. Make him somebody else's problem.

By the way, isn't it more likely he cross-threaded the cog rather than just failed to tighten the lockring? Regardless, almost certainly user error.

We've determined that it's his fault. Good enough for me.

But we have not publicly shamed him. Invite him to the forums and the two of you can argue it out for all the world to see.

No sport in that, since he'll be the guy walking his bike.
