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)

Today or rather the other day, I accidentally left a big container of bag balm in my chrome bag in my car on a super hot day for 8 hours. LUCKILY it so happened to be in the water proof pocket so the bag isn't totally ruined.

Today I accidentally bought my first set of single-walled rims.
They appeared double walled in the profile-wise product pic!

So cheap they essentially went straight from the box to truing stand.

Also, the grove is so deep because of the faux- double wall profile that I ended up using a roll of velox and a rim strip for each.

I'd post this in the music thread but no one really touches that.

Was anyone else disappointed behind the Jamie xx album that just came out, In Colour? Cause I totally was. Produced wonderfully and sonically beautiful, but it feels really empty for some reason.

I thought it was a pretty tight album, the second half especially.

You know it is. These two movies were merely "research" in preparation.

It's no wonder why I got them for so cheap



I need 2 of these and 2 for the front.

Agreed. Watched the first one and was in disbelief. Absolutely terrible.

Went on an awesome ride Saturday night... the full, semi-famous "49 mile scenic drive" which visits a bunch of cool landmarks and views all around SF. Weather was so perfect and a great group of people, super fun. Was stupid enough to do it fixed, just barely made it up the several 20%+ grades, feeling it today.

yep and you have to concentrate staying in the zone the best you can with elevation changes. I just started doing these some Saturdays instead of a much faster/harder group ride. I am surprised how tired I am after a long aerobic threshold ride-did 60 miles Saturday and I won't fully recover until tomorrow.
