^^ I dont think it lifts up, but I can still do it in cages

you probably just need to lean more, you basically rest your dick on your stem

and that gives you more leverage

edit: if you're talkin strictly about your feet in the cages, I just stand up off my saddle and pull one foot up and keep one foot down

it takes a little more strength to do in cages, but not much

[m1sterko]

btw, dino

you never got that kilo did you?

to those wiht the green frame...do you like the color?

[dino might]

nah i cancelled the order. i was getting the green though. i think the color looks good

Yeah, I have the green...and its grown on me. Its pretty pretty green, heh. Not quite as lime-ish as the color sample pic on bikesdirect.com.

I would have preferred black, just because the green is certainly more eye-catching and not my style, but I really couldn't care less about the color of my bike...

Word, i'm trying without cages though, so i guess i just need to lean forward more haha. I think i'm not pushing down enough with my leg, because even with my pelvis against the stem the pedal seems to push my a little foward, if not up.

Fucking weak legs.

i used to ride platforms. put one foot under the pedal and pull up. its called a jamaica skid

if you cant skid on or right above your seat u shouldnt be riding with out a brake

Jamaica skid haha.

If you're using platforms, is it feasible to lean that far forward enough to get a skid while still 'on or right above your seat'?

And i have a front brake, would still like to learn.

[xxandyarmada]

Hammmy is right. people that have to have their torso against there handle bars neeed a brake, cause not only do they not stop quickly, they loose a lot of control they would hav eif they were above their seat.

[hamburglar]

you dont have much control of your skid leaning that far forward while going fast and it wont do much to slow u down. practice skidding and lean forward less and less each time. the faster the easier (without spinning out). also practice pulling back...

skid while leaning forward then while still skidding shift your weight to over ur seat

the further back your weight it the more friction you wheel has with the ground = the slower you get. i learned quickly cz i never road with a break. i advise against this

[xxandyarmada]

ride hills. you have no choice but to skid

EDIT: not directed at you hammy. directed at all the kiddies with their kilo tts.

[hamburglar]

if u lean on a hill u will fall face first and people with laugh.

I use L clips and have no issue with toe overlap because of my giant fucking 60cm frame. People with 50cm frames or whatever won't be so lucky. It was a problem for me when I had fenders on my bike and it drove me crazy.

That aint shit I'm lugging around a 64.

[KrnMackMattsta]

anyone know if a metal worker will be able to make a custom hub for me?

I have a corima race wheel with a corima hub from my racing bike that i'd like to transfer over to my track bike without paying 350+ for the track conversion kit.

Why would you get a shim. Just get the right fucking size seat post and don't risk damaging your seat tube, it's not like 27.2 is uncommon.

[brentos]

What size is the allen key/hex wrench on most crank arms?

I got my Sugino's but I can't find the right wrench... :-/
