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)

Today I saw a 'Ted Shred' singlespeed climbing a hill. Didn't get a chance to see him stop though.
A bee booped my nose on my way back from class.
Aaaaannnnd 2 night tests in a row tonight - Flight Structures and Astrodynamics. Not excited.

Today I got these in the mail.

Looking forward to seeing how (if at all) they help my braking on my CX bike.

could that be a plain pasela, not tg?

edit...damn that scrod is fast

as long as i am editing...if you did not pay the higher price for tgs, keep it - paselas are nice tires. it is what i am using & i ride on some terrible roads covered in debris with no flatting so far. my only gripe is that they are huge, my 25s are as big as some 28s i've had.

and the vanilla paselas have all-black casing now, evidently, instead of the tan that's on their website (and even the catalog that the LBS was looking at when they ordered). I can do without the extra material in the TG, but damn if having mismatched tires isn't going to be annoying for the month it's going to last me.

haha.

those look exactly like the t-serv's tread. can someone hit me with the info regarding the difference? i think it's just a little more protection with the t-serv's... correct?

Correct. Same tread, a little more protection with the T-Serv.

Today I traded my Cinelli 1a stem for Nitto B-123 track bars. Decided instead of buying a new stem, i would hand polish my old nasty nitto young stem previously on the bike to match.

results

before


after (w/o a polishing compound added still)


and the new bars/stem together
