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?

Return them and get the tensioners they made specifically for oversized alloy dropouts. Don't let $40 go down the drain.

Super meh.

Uninteresting gameplay that doesn't look any different from all the other shooters out there, and it was incredibly annoying that they kept cutting to show the developer sitting next to the screen. Is this supposed to remind me that I'm watching a gameplay video? He's not even actually playing!

Sowwy.

Quiet and rainy today and light work in the shop... cruised around on an Electra Amsterdam after the tune up and have to say that these are some nice bikes, for the most part.

the dropouts are fine. I bought the non NJS version that's made for aluminum frames. it'd be fine on a normal axle, but these beefy ones on my AC-S are too big

If only there was a way to make a hole larger. Perhaps some rotating bladed cylindrical object.

You obviously mean something like this:



Heating the bike exercises the metal by raising and lowering the temperature. This strengthens the bicycle.

sorry i should have been more specific reguarding the feel of the shorter crank arms and larger chainring, when i said it felt like i lost leverage. I was refering to back pedaling, skidding ect or sprinting off a green light. It just feels like if you move the rock the 2x4 sits on, its just more difficult, that push like before isnt as noticable i feel though that its easier to spin and im assuming thats because of the shorter crank arms??

also even though i say spinning seems easier, it feels like im doing more work now than before even if the changes ive made are negligable.

maybe my perceptions are off.

Haha, sorry! I forget how much I have it locked down sometimes. I knew you couldn't find me in search, but I thought having the direct link would work. Hold please.

Edit: Fixed now.
