Tu n'as rien d'autre a faire que te rependre de la haine sur ceux qui te porte de l'attention?
Ce vélo est pour un pote c'est donc une commande, pour ta gouverne il vas le transformer en vélo électrique, il en est très content et il as été blogué sur ce site donc ton jugement tu peux te le carrer dans tu sais quoi ça me ferrais des vacances.
Pour tout l'amour que j'ai pour toi: Oublie moi !
Considère par pitié que je ne suis plus dans le même monde que toi.
Ton harassement me donne des boutons et je suis près a t'envoyer de l'argent pour que tu arête de me parler.
A la prochaine intervention de ta part en ma direction je quitte LFGSS définitivement.
Paix, tolérance et respect mon frère.

it's an absolute hoot! you can get into a mean aero position behind the basket as well. slowly dropping the tire pressures for maximum squish.

oh don't get so mad, you have an ignore button on here :)

I use this a lot http://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/trailcalc.php

Non.

<It will also give you ca circumference

What is that good for exactly?

I'm looking at a Kaffenback 2 as the next light-tourer build, and I can see that bankiren is running 37's on 700c rims even though on the homepage it says 32mm max. Has the circumference something to do with him being able to have 37's in?

Noiccce

Yes

Shout out to @BBlack for the Mielec, and @badmanlongtime for the wheels, some adjustment needed but finally its done :D

Great build!
Which Fork is it?

Me? Cheers the fork came from @BBlack also but I think it's a 3ttt cevelo? Not sure

badass!

that is gully, get some omniums on 'er

Potentially stupid question.

I'm going to turn my fixed gear into a single speed for a few months. Having never ridden single speed before I'm wondering should I just run the same gearing? Or should it be spinnier?

Currently running 49x19

Same gearing is fine. If anything SS is more forgiving in terms of gearing choice as you can coast.

Be prepared for a weird sensation. I felt like I was about to fall off the bike a few times when I build a SS a few years ago.

Front mech upgrade, Force 2010 --> Force 22. I wasn't previously familiar with the word "yaw" but it appears to mean "smoother changes and no more chain rub in certain gear combinations". Yay!

(Does anyone need a front mech?)

Doesn't mean anything, but most of the fixed/free combos I've seen have the freewheel as an easier, 'bail out' gear.

I think you mean 'Yaw!'
