• Posted in thread: Supplier for single speed frame parts? on 09-04-2009 at 02:07 AM
  I ride BMX, and any other bike I can get on, and I really like the looks and strength of the
  bmx parts. I am wanting to basicly get the tubing used for a BMX bike and build up a single
  speed frame fro...

• Posted in thread: Who rides singlespeed and why? on 09-04-2009 at 02:01 AM
  Flats are just a pain in general. I carry the spare stuff needed. I just hate dealing with it.
  That's pretty much the only weakness found on a fixed gear bike though.

• Posted in thread: Stuff found while riding on 09-03-2009 at 04:46 AM
  The most common thing for me to find is Gu packs on the trail and shoes on the side of the
  road. I have no idea why there are so many shoes beside the road. I'd say a few are little kids
  kicking them ...

  I love the single-speed for running around town and cruising to a buddies place for a few
  beers. The only worry I have on a SS is getting a flat. But, with good tires and liners, that
  thing is almost ...

• Posted in thread: Who Makes Singlespeed Roadies on 09-03-2009 at 04:24 AM
  Volume and FBM(I think) are making track frames now. They're both bmx companies trying to make
  a dollar on the new trend. I love the Volume frame and will likely get one when they get more
  available.S...

  Is it not ridiculously hot in Kentucky? How long did that take?Kentucky does tend to be pretty
  hot in the summer. The worst part is the humidity though. Texas heat didn't affect me as bad as
  the KY he...

  I want to build my own single-speed/fixed gear/track bike... Whatever you wanna call it. I am
  looking for an integrated headset and mid-bottom bracket like they use on BMX bikes. Beyond
  that, I'm not ...

• Posted in thread: 105, Ultegra, or Dura Ace with for a beginner? on 09-03-2009 at 03:58 AM
  I had 105's on my Aloha and I have 105's on the MASI I am picking up this week. Haven't had any
  issues and my New complete is under 18 pounds. I don't see any reasons to upgrade unless you
  just feel l...

• Posted in thread: How does one choose a saddle? on 08-04-2009 at 04:10 PM
  Many people go for a big cushy seat to get more comfort. That works for a trip around the
  campground, but a serious rider will get no benefit from that. The more you ride, the more
  you'll get used to ...

• Posted in thread: Hub Sizing on 08-04-2009 at 03:53 PM
  I can't remember wich is wich, but one fits older road bikes, one fits newer road bikes, and
  one fits mtn. bikes....I think. The best bet is to go measure your spacing on your frame and
  fork because t...
