I just recently got into riding fixed gears and bought a Mercier Kilo TT off of Bikes Direct. I already got new tires and everything I'm just wondering if anyone could just tell me everything I need to know about bikes. Any information is good, I just want to learn more about fixed gears. I find them simple and intriguing and hope that you all could help me get acquainted with the biking world. Anything helps!

Wow guy. Lets be tough and cool on the interwebz cause in real life I have no backbone.

Chris. Hi. Paruse the forum. Don't post basic help me threads, 10000 people already did it and we are tired of answering those questions.

ChrisKelly, I suggest that you read everything on this website: https://sheldonbrown.com/home.html

That should keep you busy for a few days. Check back if you have any specific questions that aren't covered on that site.

I'm going to lock this thread as it will likely just turn into a mess.
