big thanks to @jono84 for giving me very kind prices on all the bits I needed to get this rolling in time for its inaugural lock-up today. The wheels are great; quiet, comfy, seem to just keep rolling. The drivetrain is smoooooth; the 3/32 surly 17t seems to be making the bike run quieter than it has with any 1/8 cog did.
Feels good to have a fixie to ride again. Looking forward to winter road fixed stuff on the horizon. Really glad to have a bike that I feel a bit less paranoid about locking up.
Ty ty, yeah they’re fun. I feel like it lets me be older/more boring/lame than my riser-brakeless skidder days but still get all the joys of riding a fixed gear without some of its questionable quirks haha
