Well i have spent the last 5 months hating bikes and coming to grips with the reality that my knee is not up to snuff for no break fixied riding. Now that i am apparently officially an old man its getting a coaster break so my wife will stop telling me to sell it. Track disc will be a wall hanger i guess...
May god have mercy on my soul...

why braklezzz? front brake and youll be fine, coaster brake is for dutch bikes

Why not get the back end drilled and run 2 brakes? Or even ss & 2 brakes?
-

Lots of stupid reasons.
- cause I already have a bike with 2 breaks
- Frame and fork would need to be drilled and fork would be tight
- I have a nice offensively orange Masi track frame in storage that will eventually get here that has brake holes, as well as my masi road bikes (more breaks)
- cause it will be funny, cheap and its the 50% solution
mostly because its the first idea i had
- cause I already have a bike with 2 breaks

USA themed disc is making me swing towards saying disc x tri combo. Offensively vulgar, and I love it

Disc and the straight bladed trip-spoke, the Spengle pair, whilst interesting, are horrific.

Leaning towards spengle front with disc... Ready to get on the clincher train. Also the disc is a hed with zipp graphics and spnk adapter. So nothing special. But a pretty decent wheel

But honestly prob will keep all of it for a while

Run the clinchers as your daily and keep the tubs for special occasions?
Double spengle will looks really odd but I guess rad.

Hed x Disc for biek & dibl spingl for dog trailer?
-

Spengle x disc looking strong
Also got these for spring. Uncut Moscow 3ttt pursuit bars. Need a stem that can make the turn though.

What free hub is the rear Speng? If u happen decide to sell them as a set I'd be interested
-
• #142
Not sure, it's going to the shop this week for disassembly. Will report back
-
• #143
Other option is spengle front hed rear wheel? Double mismatched trispoke?
-
• #144
Starting to feel like a strong look.
Or there is this option...
-
• #145
Double spengle
-
• #146
It's starting to feel right. And made in austria is a plus.
-
• #147
tape brake surfaces on spengles, will complete the look.
-
• #148
Oh for sure just have to sort the rear out first and decide if I'm selling the other wheel setup.
-

Double spengle with those pursuit bars will be a very strong look. Regarding your knee pain, lose the straps in favor of clipless, consider downgearing and putting yout saddle up a bit more then needed and stretch your quads, do knee balance/ stability exercises. I developed a jumpers knee with too low saddle and straps, thankfully it is quite good now.
