fgfs exists so why the **** not

in related news I'm going to start making sandwiches without my hands.

Wouldn't think that a ratio that would get you up the hill would get you back down, assuming your feet are on the pedals going both ways.

I had my SS mountain bike "fixed" just to try it out for awhile - using a fixed cog and red Loc-Tite.

It was a lot of fun, but I'd hold the experience to being more like hiking with wheels, rather than really riding a bike. The bike had a lot of "feel" while slowly rolling up/down small hills and picking a line around obsticles. Mild downhills were especially fun, using backpedaling and skids to control speed.

Anything fast sucked, however. I ruined a set of pedals by stricking rocks, and jumping was out of the question.

I switched my "good" mountain bike back to a freewheel, but I'd still like to get a beater mountain bike and permanately convert it to fixed.
