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)

Oof, I hope you learn from your mistakes; formula rings are so bad they literally get chunks taken out of them by spanners during the tightening process...

That's on the side; she does corporate accounting.

She's also a vampire; have you ever seen twilight? The wicked wretch made me cold blooded.

yeah I noticed that when I was taking it off. I'd say I've taken this one off and on only like 2 times and the notches in it had already started to get messed up. should have taken that as a hint as to how the threading was. Today I feel like a dingus

Nah no need to be, it happens to all of us. A formula rear is bombproof once you get it properly set up with a DA lockring.

Big applause for you!

You're going to realize it's not that bad and it's actually more fun. Looking forward to hearing about it.

That In Colours album is pretty damn good. Haven't heard the new on in its entirety but I really liked a couple of cuts they played on the one-hour Colbert Report extravaganza. Might have to pick it up next week. Wish they'd do the In Colours online pricing scheme again

I rode it around for a few minutes and it's kinda scary. LOL

I tried to skid for ****s and giggles and definitely almost ate it. I also can't trackstand for the life of me. Man this sucks. I'm at negative street cred.
