Funny, I was slip streaming a guy yesterday on my fixed gear bike, he was a big fella, I was pretty happy with myself for keeping up, I looked down at his gears and he was on the highest gear, looked...

My Sram NX 11 speed has 36 front, 12 on the back, chain is obviously thinner and I find the NX good stuff, so it's less 'wheerring'. So I figure the smaller chain length and and different ring sizes...

I think I just notice it more on my 8 speed than my 11 speed because of the bigger jump. I'm fairly good at indexing, until I watched park tools video, which takes it to a whole new level! I was...

I just like having my gears as smooth as possible, but I think it is just that, the smallest/biggest cog issue, the sound of the chain. Lube helps, a new chain helps.

It's a Sora derailleur, and I...

The cassette is 11/32, so I guess 11, 14? It's mostly when on the smallest cog, 11.

Smoother high gear?

So my highest gears, 7/8, have a "Buurrry" sound/feel. I've done all the indexing, correctly! Changed derailleur wheels, chain is pretty new, etc. Hanger seems straight etc. It's not a indexing...

He's not the only one, funny in NL it gets pretty wet and cold and the Dutch for the most part don't bother with gloves on their grandma bikes. For me, I hate it when my gloves are too warm.

I go with pretty much as various post, my 10c. I recently changed a 90mm to a 70mm, I was surprised how much more comfortable the drops became.

So the bike is 55cm, and I'm probably closer to a...

Nike sell top pro trainers for 300, but they also sell tshirts for 4,99 at the discount store! I don't see them having any brand issues.

Lol, I hear you and agree, Tiagra is more than good enough. I work on Shimano marketing materials so I know what the 'blurbs says. But they're completely focused on product ranges.

Some good bargains out there...

With online shops I'd say there is actually more bang for your buck. I paid €400 for a 8speed Alu Road bike last year. I thought, let's see what I get. I'm actually amazed on a daily basis how good...

Do your knees a favor, get a brake. You still get the full fixie feeling but you won't spend your retirement in a wheelchair!

I'd say loose the drop bars. What nobody tells you is dropbars aren't very comfortable without brake handles to hold, they're fine if you ride in the dropped position most of the time. Cinelli do...

I love my Cinelli Vigorelli and for sure they make great bikes. But. You will be paying a fair chunk for the brand and they're plenty of other brands that offer better value in the fixie world....
