Argh! Help! Parents!

This is Wibble , he's not posh....

looks like he already made her a pair of cement shoes to slow her down..

wibble's not posh, he's just well-spoken.

I'm not posh I'm just a cunt

Is it just that there is no standard rear brake?

Add one!

Even if it's fake.

+1 What are you, a bloody hipster?

"Oh my poor leaden heart, for wo is me. I cannot possibly runeth brakes numbering greater than one. I forsee that all my kooler than Jesus hipster mates will surely taketh the piss in a merciless fashion. And I shall be cast down, with the dweebs upon Geek Street. Lo! I am undone."

Just get another brake on and take it off in a couple of months when the folks aren't looking. Just get a shitty one off an old bike. Come on, you know the drill... They'll fuss at first, then they'll have forgotten it in a few weeks.

Ah. Of course you have to make sure you never crash though, after you take the brake back off. Otherwise you'll never (and I mean NEVER) hear the end of it.

Dude wear a helmet if you have too..Safety first right

If he's too hip to be a two-brake nerdy, he ain't wearing a helmet around town, you know it.

A a posh cunt myself i take objection - i had mater and pater fly greg lemond over to present me with a stable of custom Looks for my 10 year old self, and i insisted on riding around the estate with a Mavic support car in situ - this young chap is clearly a commoner as posh parents encourage the pursuit of danger for the glorificaion of the family name amongst all offspring.

sorry, but HTFU, you posh cunt.
A; if you shelled out for a bike shop to build your bike, rather than building it yourself, then you don't deserve it.
B; if you can't convince your parents of a simple matter like this, then you have a complete lack of social skills. They just want you to be safe, it is a simple misunderstanding on their part - it looks bloody dangerous. Show them some facts, let them have a go etc. If they're that stubborn, live with it. Don't fanny about on the internet.

Sorry - a bit harsh. i'm sure you're lovely, but as a person of a similar age, this dort of thing really gets on my tits. Rant over ;)

im not a posh cunt, cos im not posh.

A: i dont have a headset press.

B:i have social skills, i have friends but the guy in the bike shop told her fixies are dangerous so she assumes its true, and i had a long argument with her about it.

i fannied about it on the internet because this is probably the best place for fixie related matters, and i needed help with arguments, which i got.

If you think that a fixie skidder website is the best solution, then you're not even thinking clearly.

from the sound of it, you ignored some perfectly good advice on how to sort it out and still insisted on showing your mum a website full of fixie skidder saying that doing a fixie is dangerous.

"fixie related matters" = lol

OK look, I know you got a bit of a frying, ignore that lot, they're just pullin your chain a bit but you are assisting them by being a complete lulcow. So just chill a bit. And don't take it too personally, some of the people on this site could start an argument in an empty house, don't assist them by biting at the bait.

But I have to ask this...

The guy in the bike shop told ye mammy that fixies were dangerous? That's the same bike shop that are building your new bike up? So, they agreed to get a bunch of bits together and make them into a bike at a high labour charge to you, and then they tell Mater that her son will be riding a deathtrap?

Does that seem a bit fucked up to you?

Cos, if you can't have the bike, on account of it being a deathtrap, have you (or your folks) parted with any cash yet? You don't think the bike shop are having trouble putting it together and want to convince you to buy something else, do you? Like they laced the wrong hub into the rear wheel and have actually built it with a freewheeling hub by mistake, or whatever, and are hoping to convince you to have the hub that's in it?

im not a posh cunt, cos im not posh.

This made me laugh, atomcf. You might want to edit it. :)

hahaha! Thats great Oliver.

sorry about all the unpleasantness. I had just had my bike nicked, so wasn't in the finest of moods. Just had to lash out somewhere.
+1 on getting a rear brake.

Cry til you get your own way?

oh come on! I got a master system by saying I was gay! ..try it!

hahaha... amazing.

ride around on a free wheel for a bit then over night put the fixed gear back on realy cool sign dicki

Golly, Its all getting a bit serious here is it not?

To me fixgear is all about fun
Its not necessary at all to fix your wheel In fact sometimes I think its a bit daft.
I run a front brake, and a helmet and even a bottle on occasion.

My posts never make sense.
Cheers all the same

Stop being so worried about what your parents, a little rebellion can only make you a more independent human being. If anything is dangerous calling it a "Fixie" will ultimately kill you.

I am concerned that the belated resurrection of this thread might have come at a time when the original poster is all grown up and has children of his own.

I think he's about a year older, could be wrong though.

Bit young to have a kid, but never stopped them where I grew up.

He's still on here anyway.

Yeah whatever, I'm bored.

He probably will
