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)

Whoah there, pal! You should really think about punctuation and grammar if you're going to be typing anything. You should also look around and find the search function. This topic has been covered zillions of times and I'm sure most of the regulars are getting sick of answering it over and over.

Short answer: any of those will be fine.

It would matter because people need to comprehend what you are writing on a forum.
