Am i meant to get a hard on for you coz u ride 90 gi on the track or something?
I'm sure theres plenty of novice riders take the front brake off their freewheel bikes to make their bikes look more like fixed wheel bikes and thusly have a total lack of control of their bikes
However, were i one of those riders would i have freely posted that i ride freewheel flat pedal or would i have left you guessing if it was fixed and made up a story about why i didn't have toeclips fitted in the pic?
Would i have told you that i run 180mm cranks or would i have hoped that noone noticed my cranks weren't 165mm?
The reason i replied with "Why not? Its my bike." was because i don't go around jumping down the throats of those that do ride fixed brakeless with silly gi on the road. I don't tell people who ride fixed - or freewheel - & 2 brakes that they are pussys for doing it. We may slag off some bikes on the anti-porn thread but thats in good humour. Feel free to post my bike in there if you want, i can take it. Just don't come moaning about how i run my bike and expect me to be apologetic about it.
