I confess...

Just use one of your other bikes from the extensive fleet ;)

I cannot stop my bottom bracket from making a cracking noise, and it is driving me insane.

Sell me the rotors.

Just use one of your other bikes from the extensive fleet ;)

It's the only one with a power meter.

Impossible, they're floating out of reach under the ceiling.

Buying a helmet.

I've bought a new bike :-) I now can't afford to eat until payday

I'm only in it for the Lillian/Matt/Paul triangle of doom which is long overdue it's obvious conclusion.
Listened to the omnibus yesterday: shit got real!

Motorcyclist with a funny accent berated the cyclist next to our noble hero for riding two abreast.
ONH smiled and told him to read the highway code which indicates that cyclists are allowed to be two abreast.

MWFA gets a little angry and pulls out the classic "Shut up, you don't even pay road tax!". ONH chuckles and tells him that road tax doesn't exist.

MWFA gets quick irate and yells "It does for me!".
ONH laughs out loud at the absurdity and asks him to check at the next available opportunity.

MWFA is now livid and threatens "If I could, I'd punch you in the f*cking face!".
ONH, finding the escalation hilarious, belly laughs so hard that it is difficult to hold a trackstand.

Lights change and MWFA screeches away yelling "C*********nt!!".
ONH smiles to self.

Confession: Despite being a hilarious, cliche-ridden incident, there are more productive forms of conflict resolution than laughing at your aggressors.

Well done :)

The first wheelset I bought (Gipiemme Pista) turned out to be the worst wheelset I could imagine. They were ruined after about 600 miles and I was really really carefull with them. I did a short sprint during a race and the rear hub got totalled. The outside broke and the axle looks like a banana. The bearrings in the front hub aren't round anymore and the cones are damaged as well.

I like the look of straightbars but they are so uncomfortable (I got one my pub bike but I'm going to replace it with a proper track drop for comfort).

I don't like steel frames eventhough I have two steel fixed gears.

I don't like to ride. I like it the first few minutes, but I hate the rest of the ride. I'm happy when I get home after a few hours and can upload my 100K fixed rides to Strava.

I ride with earplugs because of the noise of the wind. It's so loud.

Dude!

I said confess, so I confessed.

What is so difficult to believe?

This specific confession made me do a lol loud enough for the whole office to look over.

It's a workout. I lost almost 50 pounds and got a lot stronger in the process.

It's better to be fat and happy. If riding is a chore then fuck it off and do something you like.

Life is too short to be a Strava slave.

It's the most fun workout there is.

Am new to this fixed lark

Have no idea how to 'DAS' and despite not really knowing anyone on this site and therefor having a slim chance of anyone 'spotting' me, I'm still fearful of the day it happens and I have to admit my massive lack of skillz to someone.

come to drinks tonight and you'll know plenty of people.

Given the above confession, I'm not sure that's a good thing.... ¬_¬

ha! and she did.

skidding is very easy Seraphinx, but it doesn't matter anyway, when people shout 'DAS' they basically mean 'Hi'

I've been riding fixed for five months and it has only just dawned on me that the reason why pedestrians freeze in the middle of zebra crossings as I approach is because they don't think I'm going to stop.

I'm in the same boat Seraphinx!

I've been riding fixed on and off for maybe a year or so, still haven't the faintest clue how to do a skid. I've tried a few times, and people say it's a lot easier with clipless pedals. I fear the day someone will actually DAS me and I can't follow through with it. And there is nowhere quiet around where I live to practice said mad skids..

We need TrixieDix back ...
