Yes A+. Will read again.

I've never seen ypu at an alley cat or any kind of bike event. This thread is about bikes not flaming on other users shit. You are a hypocrit. I bet the first time you get hit by a car you will stop riding.

[sycamore no more]

Alley cat or bike event? You gotta be fucking kidding me. I think it's funny how you are trying to call me out on that when I ride way the fuck more and way the fuck further than you do. Are you ever in SF for alleycats? No, because you stay in your puny little city riding around Telegraph. Alleycats in SF are usually on saturdays when I fucking work. I go on the stupid SFFixed group rides that are on weekdays that do paradise loop, city loop, lake merced, sf -> san jose what ever the fuck loop and I never fucking see you there. So don't fucking call me out on shit you have no knowledge about you fucking hipster.

:rolleyes:

and ride your fucking bicycle outside of your small fucking flat city.

You've been riding 6 months, maybe. Just because you're from SF and the terrain is harder, doesn't mean you're harder. Phleeez.

Now everyone go ride bikes and have fun.

[zelah]

i mean really though bikes ain't about riding harder/farther/faster or on what terrain. bikes is about bikes, thats it and thats all.

[knucks]

Is that seriously Kayne on a repainted fixed in that last photos?

As far as the flame war, Jeremy stop being a hardass. Wow you can do leg over skids, big fucking deal. I bet your only rebuttal to people riding fixed w/ a front brake is "If you don't run brakeless you're not hardcore."

Thunder thighs my ass. Go suck off your buddy running the Aerospoke rear and HED front.

What are peoples thoughts on high vs. Low flange.

[fix.]

I don't want to start anyting here, but am I the only one who doesn't understand the appeal of over the bar skids? They just look silly and they're not entertaining.

i've been reading a lot of this thread over the past few days. very informative in some aspects and i love looking at the bikes that have been posted.

as for myself, i've ridden a bmx bike most of my life, although i haven't really ridden in over a year. i recently moved downtown from the burbs and i would like to get a single speed or fixed gear. i just don't have that much of a clue where to start. i think i'd rather buy a conversion or cheaper new bike than pista or the like. just for the simple fact that if i fuck it up, i've spent less money on it. when i get more into it, i can spend more cash.

i just wanted a couple of opinions on these bikes..i'm definitely a beginner, although i've ridden my friend's fixed gear a few times.

i've seen that SE sooo many times when i was in richmond, VA and it was always kind of intriguing.

[kenthenoob]

they give you more hipster douche points

[hamburglar]

Start off with a pista or iro. I built a converstion for less then 200 u just need a new chain and wheel set and ur good. I rode bmx before as well its way different but its easier to get better with the bmx expirience.

[kenthenoob]

revenge, you wanna buy my pista? 56cm

PM me if you're interested...

bbl PARTY TIME NAGGAS!!

[xrevengex]

pm'd- kenthenoob

what do you guys think of that trek conversion?

[ericdw]

another dumbass question

is there a way to remove a cog without a chainwhip? thanks

[wild style]

Yeah, you can just rotafix it off. Search rotafix on bikeforums.

high is fashionable, tis all, IMO

I've seen a lot of people run a high on the rear, low on the front. High weigh more, hence the reason for a low on the front wheel to reduce the weight.

How would I go about making sure a fork from a old road frame would be something that I could switch over to another frame? How do I figure out the sizing? Thanks

[adidassler]

Hey I'm pretty new to fixies..

I'm thinking of buying a Pista from my friend..

He bought it this summer, and it's pretty new (less than 50 miles on it)

Is 400 a good price for it, considering he used different parts for it while he rode it, and the stock parts are brand new?

Also, I'm 5'11" and from what I read, a 55cm will be fine for me..?

Thanks!

steerer diameter, steered length, threaded/threadless, etc. etc. etc.

I've seen a lot of people run a high on the rear, low on the front. High weigh more, hence the reason for a low on the front wheel to reduce the weight.

actually, because the spokes themselves are shorter with a high flange hub, the actual weight difference is negotiable. a high flange hub tends to make a stiffer wheel (shorter spoke length=less flex), but once again, this can all be affected by number of spokes/holes, spoke gauge, depth of rim, etc.

high flange also=flashier, which is likely the true underlying reason for their huge popularity as of late. i can't say i disagree.
