Tell us about your weekend ride

That's such a stunning place, I am consumed with envy.

I think in your shoes I'd probably use the limit screws to pick a ratio on the road bike though- that descent, fixed on a low gear, doesn't strike me as that much fun.

I shall call my trailer Trollstigen in honour of it's inspiration.

Second time I been back since were there. Awesome riding.

The road bike is in tiny bits.

Its having a new fork, headset bung, shorter cables, headset, bottom bracket, new right lever body, and a new cassette.

I'll build it carefuly over winter.

Especially with one brake.

Slowfurry, if your bicycle have the necessary mount for a rear brake and freewheel, then it's definitely worth it.

Having said that, descending a mountain pass on a fixed wheel is something everyone should tried at least once, and promise themselves never to do it again.

I have a 17t freewheel.
But no rear brake. I'd rather not rely totally on my front brake.

Sigh!

What's your gear ratio for this ride?

Starting at sea level its a slow climb over 30km to 850m elevation. I will ride this 48:17. This gets steep towards the end. It will be brutal.

I will then desend the cool bit. Something like 700m over 8km. (carefully)

At the bottom I will flip my wheel, swap chainring, and climb Trollstigen 41:26. Which is the cool bit. The chain length is the same for both.

I love these fixed rides. Only 2 things you need to remember. HTFU, and PFFS*.
