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)

4 days in a row on the Excel since I put the new hotness parts on it... which is amazing because I generally have serious ADD about which bike to ride. I don't spend a whole lot of time on the hoods though, mostly on the ramps instead. On those Wing Pros, where the hell should my hands be? Do I need to shorten my stem, or is it more a matter of finding my form? PLZ HALPS.

It's tough to say because I don't ride with hoods. The ramps are my favorite spot on my compacts.

Can I use a standard front road wheel (shimano 105 hub with quick release) in the fork of my Kona Paddy Wagon instead of the stock bolt on wheel? In other words, will the quick release properly secure the wheel to the fork?

Hnnng I thought about gumwalls when I had my kagero! Do it!

Scrod, I don't remember who else was looking, or what thread it was in, but qbp has plenty of those gp4000s in the black/"transparent"(gum) in 700x23c now.

Cats type 30% of the content on this board.

If it is not cats it should be.

Gumwalls will happen.

Another question: measuring the seat tube center to top means center of bottom bracket to top of the top tube, and not the very top of the seat collar, right? If that's true, can you measure that for me on a size 49 Big Block?

We only had a few 25c but they went quick.

As ddeadserious said, QBP just got them back in stock and now 23c is available.

I get the hint, you want our cats to go at it again. My cat beat yours last time in the cage fight of death, she will defeat yours again.
