ur retarded. dont listen to this. ALL FIXED HUBS HAVE LEFT THREADED COGS!!!! and if they dont DONT FUCKING RIDE IT.

Huh? Riding up a hill, mashing down a hill...both tighten the cog dude.

I like it. I'm trying to find something like that right now.

At the moment I am riding a French mountain bike, suspension forks coil rear etc. It's a great bike and a pleasure to ride but I am looking to ride in triathlon and RAID-style competition and would like to know if anyone else has any experience with prepping a mountain bike for competitions where you are road and off-road oriented.

Also, if anyone is in France and wants to get in touch and maybe do a race PM me...

Here is my bicycle. Sorry dudes and dudettes, it's no fixie.

I just bought a Peugeot. $85. However the replacement parts (wheelset, tires, handle bar, etc...) a bit more. I'm not hardcore into biking, but I wanted a road bike vs my current mtn bike. I'm sure it will be hated on...

[wild style]

the reason is the forward motion of pedaling is constant where as the reverse isnt. pedaling forward actually losens the cog and but revserse pressure tightens it.

if ur cog is right hand theaded then when u put reverse pressure on in it will losen. if this doesnt make sense to you, then go to a shop and dont fuck with you bike on your own.

You're a fucking idiot.

heres my winter build all ready to go: 61 cm soma rush frameset

[piece keeper]

Nice pictures and bike! I almost missed that glass and was wondering how the hell you got your bike to balance like that.

Mine is a 86' Peugeot, so it doesn't require french threaded parts. So NO it will not be hated on.... thank you very much.

Thanks! I got it on ebay for 180 shipped a while back. Not a steal but a good deal in my opinion.

[Bijan]

Nice, but it needs some Campy parts!

I think you should just keep off your bike, dumbfuck.

[Serendipper]

C-Record pedals w/ Campagnolo buttons on fabric straps (all Campy). Steel toe clips.

[meditation]

one of the nicest bikes ive seen in this thread

[knucks]

There's a nice Miyata on eBay in my size. Titanium. like 15 hrs left and it's at $200..

[dokydoky]

and what shop do you work at?

What shop do you work at that has left threaded cogs?

[dystaind]

titanium is the shit. go for it knucks, miyatas are soooolid. had a touring frame that had tight tight geo and rode so smooth.... when it was on smooth roads. for some reason miyata got it in their mind to make their touring frame out of thin tubed aluminum. felt like i was riding a vibrator after 20 or so miles.

nice peugot up there, 180 shipped is quite a good deal.

really diggin the soma corter. although i have a hard time seen how that would be one's "winter beater" but i can only guess that means you got something nicer up your sleeve for the spring weather.

and hamburglar, if you have that much faith in your stupidity, do us a favor and take off your lockring for us. then backpedal up a hill to "tighten" you own cog. or pull a "phat skid" over your handlebars and "tighten" up your cog with that backpressure.

[hamburglar]

sorry about the last few posts. i left my account logged in the dude who sits next to me decided to post.

im handing out rep to people who he trashed on.

totally my bad.

[mlproject]

knucks.. you need to spend more than $0 on a bike. maybe you'll have something that's nice.

[brightbill]

So browsing ebay for bikes, I see shipping listed (at the lowest) at 40-60. Last time I tried, I got nailed for 100+. What's the, well, secret to shipping cheaply?

[knucks]

don't hate nug. my current build is actually pretty damn good. i'm just really bad w/ impulsive buys and not knowing what i really want

[knucks]

Fuck yeah kids, just won the titanium Miyata off eBay. Shimano 600 groupo. awww yaaa

[SAY CAR RAMROD.]

some questions.

you guys do anything special to prevent/clean rust off? I took the long way home from the bar the other night which involved a ride on the beach. now i'm noticing some rust on the chain and a few other spots? should i really worry about this or is it just inevitable.

also,

i'm gonna be doing a triathlon in a few weeks. anyone here ever race and have any tips, this is actually gonna be my first race involving cycling and pretty anything will be helpful. I already know my bike ( fixed) is gonna look out of place.

thanks

[knucks]

yeah it's just surface rust. just wipe it off/oil the chain.
