Okay this thread has been piss funny and I don't want to stop the bickering but here's my question anyway..
When cornering, don't you adjust your body weight through the corner to keep the bike up?
If this is the case then it doesn't matter what the pedals are doing as the majority of your body weight is in your 'adjustable' torso/head area. Does this sound reasonable fizzsucks buffs?
Another thing: Linked to the rear wheel via a fixed drivetrain gives a better feel for rear wheel traction and also the ability to make minute adjustments to rear wheel speed without brake pad/disc/whatever use. So, if you were an adept fixed rider could you not be faster through wet corners, etc. than when freewheeling?
Just some thoughts.. address and then get back to the ranting please you lot.
Love,
hippy
The front wheel is the one that matters in the corners. If the back goes you can hopefully deal with it, but the front, well it's too late. Either fixed or SS I wouldn't recommend braking in the turn. Set your speed on approaching the corner.
