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)

Saddam was a Sunni Muslim, I believe. He wouldn't/couldn't be able to depict the prophet anyways.

There's a ton of those types of wheel kits out there. People buy them for Burning Man bikes.


"Important Wheel Information"

Translation -

"We don't know anything about spoke counts so we're just going to post two ambigious pictures. Our lawyers say it's the best way to keep from getting sued when this thing gets caught in your spokes and causes you to crash."


Seriously, how many spokes are on that wheel on the right? 100? I know Tandems have higher spoke counts, not that high.

Lowrider bros roll 144° all the time. There are pretty high spoke count BMXers too.

I've seen quite a few radial rears on BMX bikes. Guess they can do that cause they have more spokes than I can count.

I lose track on an Aerospoke. Aging has its drawbacks.

Adding a cross fork (for the disk) to a real track frame will jack up the handling. You are messing with the rake and axle to crown measurements. I'd love to see what the trail is on that bike now. I'm sure it rides like a$$.

OT disc brake non-sense (might be on topic because I might be a JA);
I've been interested in doing a disc brake conversion (coming from a car back ground, I think it would be the bees knees on my bike). My current axel to crown is 387mm and (according to Mr Brown) if I select a 395mm axel to crown fork, my geometry should not be greatly impacted. Although, I would much prefer this due to the visual appeal, the 2cm difference will change stuff around, oh and it has a tapered steerer. Most disc forks I've found have 45mm, identical to my current set up.

Am I on the right track? Would I even notice a change in headtube angle? Will my universe implode? Should I STFU and stick with rim brakes?
