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)

I've got a Raceface Cadence on my S3X build. I liked it so much, I bought a second one for my gearie.

I had a second hand Truvative one that was ruined somehow. When I would torque the fixing bolt to the recomended tightness, it would still come loose even with locktite. The RF cranks require precise measured BB width so that they can use a hard stop on the installation of the separate arm.
