Foot brakes.
What do you guys think is harder, coming out of the saddle to lock everyhting up or being able to skid in the saddle? I found standing up and doing it was actually harder to learn.
Am I crazy?

I actually thought of putting a coaster brake on a fixed gear.
And pegs.
And a my little pony top tube protector.
Then it would p.i.m.p.

Because you didn't get the proprietary Trek coaster brake shoes!
Trek dont sell internal parts for their coaster brakes,Here is their email to me
Hi Mark,
Thanks for writing and riding Trek bikes. On a hub like this, it's much
easier and less expensive to purchase a new wheel than it would be to
replace coaster brake shoes. If a cone is pitted, this could be
replaced. Trek does not have part numbers for small items like this, but
most bike shops will have a selection of replacement cones or access to
distributors which have them available. Again, though, you may find it
much more cost effective to replace the wheel rather than overhaul a hub
like this.
Ride on,

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

Someone needs to make a bike where you have to use a clutch to shift gears.
