so i have bene rideing a freinds spare free wheel while i wait to build another rear for my fixi. i noticed right off that the gear ratio is like welcome to spin city, and that i had verry litte controll over my rear wheel. also stoppint the thing with just the front break was difficult. it was harder to feel for traction in the rin, and i almsot killed some club gores in soho.
it was kinda nice to be able to just relax going down steep hills, but i need to get back to fixed asap riding the singel speed is just a bit too boreing.
