Used as pair of these for a while. They're beautiful to ride but could do wiuth being ridden in conjunction with a front brake as I skidded through in less than two months.

I like the cheaper strandard armadillo's too but the red side walls are nasty.

Secretly i think the increasing ubiquity of the aerospoke is nothing to with ride quality, but further evidence that ex-bmx devotees are decamping to the world of fixed en masse. in this respect, aerospokes are not much more than mag wheels.

The only reason I toyed with the idea of an aerospoke is because they look like Mags and bring back entertaining childhood memories.
Though I disqualify myself from the en-masse-decamping as I still ride BMX. Agreeed with Mags being shit though. I'd never use them for BMXing.

matt Yeah i saw him in some messenger film in NW - think it was pedal??? he's the man that's dam sure.

I saw Pedal last week, he's definitely in it.

Flatlander [quote]Object17 [quote]31trum [quote]slamm What chainring is that Object17?
s'mental!

profile cranks and imperial chain ring[/quote]

Quite correct - Pretty though they are I wouldn't recommend them. Apart from the obscene weight you also have to cope with the "never going to be central/round" chainring issue.

Don't get me wrong I've used them for 19 months but I can't in good conscience let other people waste the money as they won't do your fixie justice.[/quote]

what lenght arms they? and are you running a Ti axle? and wot BB for that matter?[/quote]

I'm no longer using them but they were 165mm with a profile Euro bottom bracket. I could never quite justify the Ti axle.
Including the chainring as well they weigh in at 2.9something pounds. Weighty.

Additional. You'll find lots of 36 holes but 32's are virtually unheard of in BMX.

Out of interest what's the project?

jonaent (Jon) Aren't flatland BMXs fixed?

Usually not, many use freecoasters though.
I've only ever seen one fixed and that was with a home made hub.

hippy [quote]Object17 [quote]hippy Object17: Saw you riding East on um a road last night. You were flashin' your pink bits for everyone to see! ;)
Towards Old St. roundabout where I see most other fixers of an 'eve..

Yesterday was the first day out with the new improved drivetrain (Dura-ace & EAI) and how could I forget the pink grips too (Secretly I believe these make all the difference).
You should shout next time, provided we weren't speeding in opposite directions that is. Anyways hope you were having fun.[/quote]

We were speeding in opposite directions.. there was car traffic.. other fixed riders.. you know. It's not you, it's me..[/quote]

I'll try not to hold it against you but I'll be secretly crying inside. Each missed meeting providing a new layer of density to the core of my being. One day I'll stop moving altogether and break apart knowing what could have been...

lpg [quote]Object17 She works again.

Apologies for my face.

hows the unicycle? :)[/quote]

The trials unicycle is lots of fun though not very guiche piercing compatible :]

I never saw any fixed wheels when I lived in Brighton.
Was down there this weekend and saw a London Langster. What a hideous start.

leeww [quote]Object17 . . . some custom minimal custom decals

Where can you get custom decals from ?

This is yet to be discovered - I've only just stripped the branded stickers from this frame.
I'll update once I know.

leeww Nice!

You and your bike share may features.

Thanks.

She still has some work to be done (Dura-ace track cranks, Euro-Asia track cog, some custom minimal custom decals)
Needless to say my bodies a perpetual work in progress.

She works again.

Apologies for my face.

SMEEAR picked mine up yesterday

black

lovely,

no black spokes though :(

It's almost like you're trying to get the new bike up and working. When's the wheel building actually going to happen though?

aidan renan is close to suicide as we speak due to the crash he had last weekend

I feel for him.
TBH I've used is as an excuse to give mine a full overhaul/service (But it's more than likely that it was more to console myself, rather than actually fix her).

htay I ride with a gold finger- Theeeeeiiiirrr Great!.

Seconded, back when I used a brake I used a 105 with a goldfinger. Plent powerful with nice minimal aesthetics.

Having had my front wheel destroyed last weekend I've been cycling on my mountain bike all week.
Fat grippy tires and heavy small frames (Though thankfully rigid up-front) suck for riding around London.

Still I pick up the rebuilt front wheel on Monday so I shouldn't complain.

What's the longest you've been without your Fixed/Single-speed for? Did you suffer seperation anxiety too?

SMEEAR hahaha

and people wonder why there are no ladies on this forum

but yeah noBODY is perfect, i dont mind people trying to achieve there ideal self, as long as they know what that is

But I only ever wanted to look like you.
