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)

The more things change

Was digging through a thread to see if there was a way to convert the Pedro Beer Wrench into a ratcheting hex/Philips/flathead/Torx driver and stumbled into this, and Jesus it is trial by fire with y'all.

Which is both hilarious and I'm grateful for for as its cut down the number of dumb things I ask. Lol
