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 Video Thread

Rules:
Must either be a video of you or that you made.

Any of you guys record your rides?

Just got a GoPro and recorded a ride the other day.
It was more of an experiment, but I thought I'd post it up.

Be forewarned. It's really long, somewhat boring and badly edited.

My RHC raw footage.

After a **** start and my nerves going crazy, I got yanked out right before the half way mark, but beat everyone I had/wanted to.

Looking forward to next year.

Congrats Chirs that's awesome. Fascinating video too, watched the whole thing.

I think seeing the shadow of the riders coming up behind me would either push me harder or freak me out

There was. Followed by 5 minutes of call ups and the power going out.

You can see right as I pull off a motorcycle go by, meaning the lead group is not far behind.
Lapped riders get pulled out.

Also a Pro Tip:
Do not consume 3 Gu's 10 minutes before racing on an empty stomach. It will make you wicked nauseous.

It seems like in these street style crit races that if you aren't with the lead group after the initial jump that you'll never see them. really awesome you rode. did you do it on the mash?

And after seeing 3-4 dudes eat ****, I didn't suck anyones wheel too much.

Rode the Mash...and so did 40 other people.

Video from the 1st Crit Race of São Paulo.

I came in 6th out of 20, I made the mistake of using 48/17 could have runned with a higher GI for sure, the top 4 fixed riders were running 52/15, 53/16, 45/14 and 49/14
