To add to the above so you can all call us both mad and imbeciles, we're both riding 2011 Specialized Langsters :-)

I'm just in the process of training for a sort of touring/endurance ride on fixed.

The original plan was three of us entering the London to Brussels 24hr ride at the end of August and riding it fixed. However, two big issues in 2 days stopped that... the first was one of the three falling off his bike in training and breaking both his hip and his shoulder, the second was the organisers cancelling the L2B24 due to insufficient participants. :-(

So now the remaining two of us are doing our own ride.... Coast-to-Coast, from Pembroke to Great Yarmouth, by fixed gear, in 3 days. The third guy will be acting as a support driver (he'll be driving by then) to carry kit and food for us.

We can't find any record of anyone having done this before, but maybe someone on here will have more of an idea?

And yes, we're doing it for charity and fun, though I don't know the rules of posting links to charity pages on this forum, so I've not done so. If anyone does want to support (or maybe even join us?) let me know.

Currently 48x18. I spin that at around 95rpm on the flat and will max at 150rpm downhill... but I can still get it up hills when needed....just! In training for a long endurance ride at the moment and I'm thinking that as my legs get stronger I'll drop it to a 48x17 or possible even 16 becasue ideally I want my cadence to be around 85. Will see how the training goes - I've got about 12weeks 'til the ride :-)

Not being able to unclip quick enough at a junction and slowly toppling over into oncoming traffic.

Hi Everyone,
New here! Been lurking around as a guest for a while and was surprised I hadn't joined sooner. Been riding fixed for a couple of years, first off with an SE Lager. Just a month of so ago I bought a Specialised Langster for an endurance event I'm signed up to.

Will find the appropriate forum and post details about it there.

Look forward to interacting with you all.

Dave
