Track bikes on the road

You are mistaken. The majority of UK tracks have no roof and have plenty of grit/glass/rain. As yet there are only 4 tracks in the UK which are indoor, one of which has only just been built. So what gave you the impression that they're for indoor use? London's own track is outdoor, surely you know of this track after all the recent publicity.

Hm, that's a good point. I've always thought of track racing as an indoor sport, but most of the tracks where I live are outdoor tarmac tracks as well. I feel smart.

In all seriousness, your bike will be fine. If it can take the strain and g-forces of being ridden at speed around a track, it can handle roads, but you probably don't want to be jumping up curbs/kerbs if not just for the sake of the wheels and tyres/tires (unless you're running 34c or something similar)

That's nice to hear. I'm currently riding on the 23c's that came with it, will see how long it takes me to skid them to shreds. I guess I'll just be extra careful around curbs/kerbs/cerbes/potatoes/Routes and I'll be fine.

Are you from dublin by any chance?

Well, actually, I'm from Norway. But I like to hang on here, because I haven't found any other fixed gear forums as knowledgeable, helpful and friendly as this one yet.
