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)

'and/or clydesdale-type riders'

This would not apply to any recent posters around here would it?
Copied from the 'Singlespeed faq'.

I'm guessing this is what he was talking about, from the SS FAQ, but I still don't know what he was really talking about.

Some manufacturers such as Chris King offer higher-end cogs. King Cogs offer a wider base, or interface, to the freehub® body. This will prevent the BMX cog from "chewing into" the freehub under serious torque. This probably isn't an issue for most riders, but may be a consideration for very powerful and/or clydesdale-type riders.

Are you asking if any of us are clydesdales?

I'm one. I'm 6'5 and about 240. I hammer my pedals and don't understand the meaning of the word 'spin.' I ride a svelte triple-butted road frame (fixed) from 1984, and an overbuilt Redline Monocog from 2004.

But then again, maybe this was all rhetorical sarcasm...

It's a Simpson's reference, norton, a pointless quote from Ralph Wiggum, to mirror the other pointless things happening in this thread.

Lisa's 8-year-old classmate, Ralph Wiggum, is the unintentional class clown of Springfield Elementary. He is the son of Chief Wiggum, the equally absent-minded, bumbling police officer, and has a reputation for saying things both irrelevent and unintelligent. He is known to have a crush on Lisa, and has an imaginary leprechaun friend who occasionally tells him to start fires.

Other good Ralph quotes:
"Principal Skinner, I got carsick in your office."
"Me fail English? That's unpossible."
"Hi, Lisa! We're going to be in a pie!"
