how are CST's?

sry, i didnt read the rest of the 4 pages but if you still didnt find your answer:

push down with your back foot and lift up with your front foot (assuming you are strapped/clipped in)

some places have laws that require a bicycle to be equipped with a handbrake. the owner of the bike is following the law but doesnt want to mess with the "aesthetics" of minimal track bikes & refuses to put a brake in the front for that very reason (as if a brake on the rear looks better).

in short, the owner is an idiot that has compromised to avoid trouble with the police but choses fashion over practicality.

correct. California law requires a working brake on a bike. here in Davis California, 90% of fixed gear riders ride brakeless (hillless terrain) but are downed by the anal bike cops that pull them over for not "following" the law. so we are trying to work around the issue~ we're not cheating the law; the law is simply outdated and incorrectly written to not take into consideration that our drivetrain is a viable part of a braking system. just doing that we dont get bothered by the police.

that bearing in hex hole sounds like such a great idea~ does something similar in principle exist for the wheel nuts? any ideas?

bearings & superglue would be more secure. I carry a chaintool in my repair kit and I could crack a chain in, what, 10 seconds..? On the other hand, it would take me 20-30 minutes to remove glue & a bearing from one bolt.

more security
more attractive than a chain/tube
no rattle while your ride
just as inexpensive

-if someone REALLY wants my seat, i dont think the deterrence of having a chaintool will stop him.

-the chain-inner tube is a very common scene here in san francisco. (so instead, often times it is more of a fashion statement)

-the setup doesn't rattle, because its wrapped in rubber (inner tube) and you make it taut so no shaking

-super glue + want to adjust seat = FML~

thx.
