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 I watched Fixation on netflix and decided to wander back to bikeforums to see what's happening.

And now I want to ride my bike but probably won't be able to today.

They did but Adams Ave is a pretty good shop too. North Park is a cool spot and super trendy right now but all that comes with a price tag.

Watched some fixie kid with a gold and blue bike try to turn on one of the painted intersections after a fresh rain today, he hit the ground and I just started busting up laughing. He got up and gave me a glare but I know he just felt shame.

My car was pelted by hail this afternoon on my commute home. The hail looked to be between pea and marble size and it sounded like bullets hitting the roof. I can't imagine getting hit by that stuff. I have no doubt it must hurt!

Flick yourself hard on the inside of your one arm. That's what it feels like only multiplied a bunch of times in terms of frequency.

I need a new BB on the Nishiki, but the shell is fubard. Also need a new drive side crank arm and non drive side pedal.

Think I'm gonna ride it to the coop tomorrow and see what I can find for a drive train.

Schweet. I know two dudes from GNV who are also starting the Divide about this time. Best of luck to all three riders.

If you can't retap your threads, you could file them out and use the Sunlite threadless repair BB. It works very well:
