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)

Well its not as funny as the name, but it's kinda clever if you ask me. Seems like the www thingy doesnt work. https://ass-savers.com works for me at least.

That thing is useless. If you see in the video her bag got splattered. Just get regular fenders. Fenders are suppose to be as close to the wheel to avoid wet ass.

Drink beer, cut cans in half and de-bottom/top them, glue together. Works in a pinch if you really need it.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and take the risk of severe repercussions for what I'm about to say.

I cannot figure out why a company that is trying to sell a product they created needs to resort to extremely unprofessional tactics and stoop to the level of street punks to sell their product to public. To use a unnecessary colored metaphor to describe their lack of packaging just turns me off from wanting to do business with them.

But that's all I'm going to say about it to prevent an on going shooting war here on the forum.

It sounds like you have far too much reason to be on this subforum.

I love how the backpack has mud spots on it because it's not stopping all the water from going up the person's back. +1 in the inverted racing stripe of doo doo water.
