Shit fixie skidders say...

If this is still knocking about in a week's time or so, I'll happily take it off your hands...

.

^ Whaat? What's fixie skidder about that?

Phssst, nerged. :)

Trying to get back into shape. Managed 57:24, 3 laps. Pretty happy. 80.5gi 55x18.

.

I tension my chain by finding the tightest point then tensioning so that when i wiggle the top the bottom wiggles at the point the bottom stops wiggling its over tight! is this wrong?

Sounds like some kind of weird bottom wiggling fetish.

That Masi. from A to B in no time I guess - it is extremely aerodynamic, as long as traffic, rough roads and potholes don't ruin the smooth ride.

it's like the bugatti of track bikes. if I had one I would cruise round west london.

I'll have some matching wheels Wednesday, should look better then

Just wanted to say thanks again Yasi. Tried to get some action footage today in the park whilst repping your garms (and 16/46 too), but didn't come out too clear. Chucked some snaps on Instagram and put a quick edit together on Youtube anyway:

if these two bikes were mine, riding woodrup would make the nostalgic, classics loving cyclists respect me more in the streets. and riding makino would make the trendy cyclists accept me in their crowd and offer me to come to the pubs for drinks.

Be the Lion of the urban jungle

Lol.

I get round the issue of ugly brake cables on my fix by leaving the brake off....

I'd happily take the 11-28 off you, as I need 1 more tooths top end for Oval-Kennington.

i reckon ass savers mudguards would look cooler.

My legs hurt sometimes as August has been a month of drinking and general fuckwittery

I just finished skidding through a Deda Grinta. It was shit and lasted about 3 weeks. Had to buy an emergency gatorskin from cycle surgery and I fucking hate gatorskins...

I currently ride brakeless with a 51/19 and that's great. I'm just thinking the 46/17 might make for a more cautious and less enjoyable ride.

^ Brilliant

That 0.8 gi will make all the difference @thross, don't you know anything!?

p.s Is it just me that absolutely detests the word "fixie"?

I was chilling in support area in Herne Hill velodrome today watching twickenham cycling club roll. There was one guy on Ellsworth with trispoke and carbon rear wheel tearing apart the track and I thought god you should be tearing up the streets with riser bars instead of drops.

Oh shit! Hahaha.

Ha, just came here to post that ^^ good work @Dry

I have a spoke card you can have. It no use to me as I dont have any normal spoked wheels. Only discs and 3/4/5 spokes.

Thanks, only thing I dont want is to make it too light (not that there is any danger of that) just want it to be reasonably heavy to give me more of a workout.

That's a good one @Scilly.Suffolk!!

I always find if I carry more water I can really feel it ;-)

Even though I've grown to be very fond of it, I'm well aware of the frame being way too small for me. At the time of purchase it was the only financially reasonable way for me to get rollin' on something other than a conversion.

Im running 49 x 16 atm but looking to go to 14 to slam the wheel better. Hopefully I will install the disc soon
