  • fuck you!
    im gonna edit that shit. simpleton.

  • yes, but then you have to say it's the best because it's what you use. This is the internet remember.

  • No, gear of the gods is 48/17.

    Unlees you're riding 45 miles in 60mph winds like I was today, FML*

  • 48-18 = 4 skid patch?

  • 48-17 = 17 skid patch?

  • 48-19 = 19 skid patch, with added bonus of slender legs?

  • I must just have pillars of oak then.

  • not necessarily.

  • 52-13 I'm just well hard, and cuz I'm tall I find skid stopping really easy and I feel like Bauge when I set off from the lights...

    #spin2win

  • not necessarily.

    Or good technique.

  • it's all about technique

  • It's all about technique.

  • it's all about technique

  • I thought it was all about the bike?

  • I thought it was all about the bike?

  • it's all about the bike.

  • It was. Now it's all about the flounce.

  • bro, its all about mashing. yorkshire is much more glamourous than sf

  • And Peckham's more glamorous than Huddersfield.

  • After watching a couple of MASH films, have to say, those guys are fucken week. Come up Yorkshire and I'll show you the hills of Bratford....

  • Nah, Ladbroke Grove is where it's at.

  • This thread is too long to read but I went for a ride with Hinata today...he was geared and I was fixed. He pedalled for 40 miles and I pushed for 40 miles. I still beat him. Perfect evidence that a fixed bike is actually easier to push than a freewheel bike.

    OP might as well close this thread now.

  • Haven't read thread, will just say this: troll troll troll troll troll

  • Have read OP; revised opinion to `fuckwit'

  • Unlees you're riding 45 miles in 60mph winds like I was today, FML*

    Strength training.

    48x17 is my ratio, I did 40 mile with some pretty mental winds last week, was aight. Flat tho, hills would make a difference
