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)

Same here! Now getting her to actually wear it (outside the house) is another story!

Dear Scord,

Curse the gords for thy bone structure. Having the jawline and neck of Adonis makes it so hard to shave by regular-man modes. What is one to do?

Stop shaving. Hairless faces are for women and children.

Regular man mode is a safety razor with a good blade. Multiblades only clog with manly beard hair. Buy a pack of Derbys or Feathers and LOL at Mach 3 blade prices.

What's the best way to solve for volume using van der waals, without either 1) using wolfram alpha, or 2) analytically solving for a cubic equation? I googled it, but man that's a tough one.

Safety razors? Psh! You need a Dubl Duck Wonderedge straight razor. When I was clean shaven that was my jam.

The last time I was "clean shaven", it was because I couldn't grow facial hair yet.

A couple of the fine dining joints I used to work at made me shave.

How can I stop busting chainring bolts? I noticed today, after my climbing ride last night, that one of my bolts was missing and checked the other to find them snapped.This blows, but at least my chainring didnt fold during the ride

Are you using good bolts or cheapos? I managed to break four of my stock Omnium bolts (they were alloy) before switching to FST steel torx bolts.

I've been using what is available at shops, which dont seem to be very good bolts, but they are steel. I dont want to pay shipping for some bolts

Ima take a stab and guess that you haven't been using loctite on the bolts. Loose bolts are much, as in possible, easier to break.
