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)

TBH I don't know, but i'm leaning towards no. I've never seen it not rushing in that spot.

It could be there to help prevent erosion? We have some of those stepped concrete strips in the washes here in Phoenix.

Really well. I've only got 40 miles on it so far. It's a 46 x 18 gear combo. I kept the brake/shifters and just tossed the shifter cables. I've had the bike for 15 years or more and when the shifters stopped working about 5 years ago I thought about making it a single speed. Finally broke down and did it.

Yeah, I'm only 64 and still have hair so I don't qualify for a Viagra car yet.

Anyone ever notice that most people that drive American muscle cars accelerate slowly, go about 15 under the speed limit, never use blinkers, and never bother to get out of left hand lane even when there are 20 cars trying pass behind them?

It's been awhile since I've been on the Wabi but I def like riding the CAAD more sure. But damn did the Wabi remind me how hard fixed can be. I might try to make an effort to take it out once a week
