And there is nothing worse than a freshly shorn scrotum, a week or so later:lol:,,,,BD


I thought the only requirement for French bikes was that you don't shave, well....anything?

Deodorant use is grounds for suspension, too.

That's for the women.

I thought that was only for the female cyclists. (except Jeannie Longo and Barbie Buatiois, of course)

Six jours beat me to it.

Yeah, someone serves up a big fat pitch like that, it's a race to see who gets to it first.

You have to win the race for that privilege. perhaps the vino in the water bottle.

And the thread gets terminated with extreme prejudice.

Sometimes I like you people just fine.

Noting on the Sram Website they applied the old Sachs Torpedo name to a hub
that will with several screwdriver turns , be fixed or freewheel.

+ it uses common 3 spline sturmey archer 3 speed type cogs .

A quick swap once you get the knack of the Snap-ring holding it on.

not 3 speed , but useful

I've put a couple thousand kms on one of those Sram Torpedos. My Raleigh One Way came with one. It has quite a bit of backlash when in fixed mode, which can't really be adjusted out. And quite a bit of drag in freewheel mode. So pick your poison.
