Welcome

Hello Sebastian,

welcome! How do you say 'fixed gear' in German? Is it "starre Nabe"?

Verbatim translated. There's an austrian word which means "accumulation of pigs" as a group. "Sauhaufen".
We are as good as we look like on the photos.

'sodcluster' isn't really a word at all!Neither is it a very good translation for "Sauhaufen". 'Sod' doesn't mean "Sau" (that would be 'sow'), for starters, and you wouldn't use 'cluster' in this context, if you wanted to translate both elements literally, but isn't "Sau" in this combination more like a prefix that indicates a particular quality rather than the animal? I'm not too sure here, as I'm from Germany, so have a different language. ;)

Needless to say, 'accumulation of pigs' doesn't really work as a translation, either. ;) "Sauhaufen" means something more like 'motley crew' (not to be confused with the band of a similar-sounding name whose spelling gives certain forum members nightmares). You could also say something like 'rag-tag band', but I don't really think that there is a word as strong as "Sauhaufen" in English.

Still, sounds as if you could get an interesting polo team together if that's the description you would go by!

Happy cycling,
Oliver.
