Started to think about how neat an idea it was to have the brake on the cranks like that, but it can't be any more effective than a coaster brake ? Basically a rear wheel brake, lock ups and skidding in a panic, still only about 25 % of the braking. A front brake caliper or disc still makes more sense to me. Although I will admit it almost had me on-line locating & pricing one out. ;)

Oh. the original question, SS/FG because I wanted a bike that didn't have all the complexities of a road bike, yet had the relative speed of one with enough GI that was neither too weak nor overwhelmingly too strong.

I ride a fixie because I want to feel 20 years younger..

Squirrelli 11-14-10 11:58 PM

I ride one because it's fun and makes me feel jolly on the inside.

Isn't that what any bicycle should make us feel?

ScottRock 11-15-10 01:52 AM

Because i'm too dumb to put together a derailleur.

carleton 11-15-10 11:02 AM

Because it's easier to spell cog than derailleur.

For some reason, what Vixtor said seems almost magical to me.

Well stated.
