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)

You dont have to be 7ft tall for those. I have two road bike frames that size and rode them for several years. Only downside was the TT straddling my jewels when I would stand at a red light. Kinda makes the bike theft proof

I'm only six foot tall. The bike has swept back townie bars so the long top tube makes for a great fit. 50mms of seat post and the bike fits like a glove. I do have to pay attention when stopping and dismounting.

I am pretty sure the bike will help you pay attention when stopping!

Easy. It has townie handlebars so the reach is a LOT less than if it had bullhorns or drops with hoods.

I assume it's just an easy visual reminder of which way to orient the ring when installing it (indentation lines up with the crank arm), but I don't really know.

Everything has gone tapered and the bike I am wanting a fork for is straight steerer. Really really wanted a Rodeo Spork..ah well, this is a cool option.

That is an interesting fork.

What is the fitting or port on the crown, right above the Fixation logo?

Internal brake hose? Flat mount?

Can you give a link to that fork?

I got something for my third water bottle cage on my Brodie. On long trips, the tools and such go in the trunk pack, but for everyday riding they go here.

It is pretty neat, I wish it was made of crabon fibers completely but the fact it is straight steerer, thru axle and has mounts for stuff is quite handy and not really existent in other forks I have seen which is sad and I hope changes. Rodeo Sporks would be good to support straight steerers for all those who still run them.

If I am not mistaken that is for internal cable/hose routing for a flat mount disc brake. The fork is the Fyxation Sparta so you could say "this is Sparta" because people said that for a time not so long ago.

A White Industries CLD 100X15mm 32h hub plus a CLD Rear hub 12X142 also silver and a ZS44 headset in blue from them but sadly I couldn't find internets pictures so pretend you are seeing the rear hub and headset and that the front hub isn't yet laced.

They make some excellent hubs that are generally some of the cheaper USA made options but still of high quality, plus the boxes they come in are really nice.

Ratcheting wrenches. Man these are so convenient and fast. Should have bought a set a long time ago. No switches for changing direction like a ratchet. No swapping sockets. Just grab the one you need and take care of business. 72 points of engagement, they feel solid as hell, the plating is top notch, and they were cheap and come with a lifetime no matter what warranty. I hope they hold up as well as they feel, look, and function.

For real




I hope it fits my Bianchi.

Gonna be loads of fun on the MUP and should make roller workouts more interesting.

I really feel like this is the missing piece in my training regimen.

Hmmmm. The riveted end cap and rolled lip on the stinger are reminiscent of a lovely Slovenian titanium gadget....
