Is it just me or is a fixed gear bike harder to push than when ss?
I guess this makes sense as it has a sort of flywheel sort of effect,which would also explain why even though a tooth less on the back it feels easier to keep a constant speed as it's keeping the interia (?) effect going
Just so excited that it's fixed now, can't believe I waited so long to do it, should of done it sooner :D
Also any tips for skidding, just as a bit of something to learn, I can do it on grass and a little on Tarmac, do I need to man up and hop into it? Also I read your ment to do it with your feet at 6 and 12 o'clock? I've been doing it at 3 and 6? Which foot goes where (strong/weaker leg), neither seems 'right'?
