youve got the rear wheel on the wrong side!takai wrote: And Larry himself
Riding SS with only one brake is dangerous(trust me I know), put on a rear brake for safety sake or man up and ride fixed.

Was riding fixed in the morning, but it kept derailing the chain, so i swapped it over to the free wheel until i can get a new rear cog as one of the teeth is bent.BRLVR.v2 wrote:takai wrote: And Larry himself

It's not just yours.Brianmoose_ wrote:As stated before my seat post is slowly failing on me (hence why the seat is slightly down) once the new post is in it will be back to normal...
It seem every second inner city fixie has this setup.
Mine is just setup like my road bike. A lot more comfy for training.
It definitely would put a lot more weight on your hands, arms and shoulders riding with saddle pointed down like that. It wouldn't be much chop on a ride over 50km.

Then took a sh it picture.
Just need to get some araya 540 clinchers I think they are, and then relace the wheels for a completely Japanese build. Not really feeling the H+Son TB14's anymore.

There is an old (60+) bloke over here I see smashing around on the matching road frame with C-rec/shamals. Never has a helmet on!

Its nasty and my rushed paint has more runs than The Don but the frame is native 700c so easier to work with than my original ghetto fixie.Dan wrote:Rad times ten Droobs.
Its not quite as much fun as making suicide hubs out of 27" wheels but tyres were too hard to come by.

Switched to Tektro brake levers, running single speed while my knee heals
Picked up a cheap pair of Rival cranks too, and fitted some SKS guards:
Overall im really happy with it. Only niggling thing atm is the cheap crap Shimano freewheel which is dying badly. Will have to replace it, but i can't complain as it came with the wheels for $40 and the wheels are really quite nice.
