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 must love how active and responsive the handling is now with an s80; especially coming from a boat anchor 'spoke.
Ha! Don't get too excited. It's my brother-in-laws.

Surprisingly, I like the way my bike feels with the Aerospoke a little better.

You mean a hole to install a brake? Yes.

I believe there's a new version coming which is undrilled though.

One warning, though, it requires a very long recessed nut. The stock nut on my Tektro front caliper was way too short.

Do you think the 2011 725 is worth the extra money? I'm thinking about getting that if I don't get the 721 or a Visp.

I liked the previous generation better.... especially the track ends for it =/

This generation is more like the 1st generation.

Thank you so much! Tubular wheels are designed for Velodrome Riding and Clinchers are designed for road riding. Tubular tires are also a lot more dangerous to ride if not properly installed. Tubular uses clue for tube tire compo and clinchers use tubes that are separate from the tire. Tubular tires always uses a much higher psi.




Wow, this guy is an idiot.

BikeSnob skewered him for that recently. I read a couple of pages of his tumblr afterward and he really isn't a very bright guy.

Can someone explain the 735 to me? Is it just the exact same thing as the
725 with larger tubing? What's the point of making both?
