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)

Not a fixed gear, friend. Get another brake before you kill yourself.

I sawed down part of the brake handle so I have more tension. It works pretty great.

In that case, get another brake before your freewheel explodes and you kill yourself.
