haven't tried any of them myself but if you'd like to be able to choose exactly what you want the bareknuckle is the way to go. you don't waste time and money swapping out things that you don't want. you just get the frame, choose whatever and put it together.

yeah, hubjub is great.

BringMeMyFix [quote]photoben I'm dissappointed that none of those BB comments were from me. I feel I'm letting down my Essex heritage.

Where in Essex exactly? Just wondering as I also spent my yoot being harrassed at bus stops by groups of Sharons and Traceys in white stilettoes (possibly an earlier era to yourself).[/quote]

shall we do a ride to essex then gents?

i'm still on the white turbo mate!

i rotafixed it, way tighter than using a chain whip...

what's that frame next to the jag? looks really sweet!

I've got an old skool maillard track hub double fixed, a condor sprocket and a dura ace lockring.
after some skidding/trackstanding and whatever that applies backwards pressure, the sprocket will slip a bit.

i've been tightening the damn thing up well bloody tight, rotafixing the sprocket THEN tightening the lockring to the point i feel i have to stop before i strip the threads, but it still happens...

so i'm wondering if anyone knows anything about these hubs - are dura ace lockrings actually compatible with them or do i need campy ones? i just find it rather unlikely they take campy ones... or are there any other french oddity out there i don't know of?

yes!!!! a list!!!! been waiting for it!!!! SMEEAR, where are you???? I'm taking the liberty in putting you in!

A List????? but without names.... with bikes!

whose is the Samson in the middle? with the DA hubs?

the samson belongs to hops and is definitely one of the best bikes i've ever seen!

did this not turn heads... everyone who passed by just have to LOOK at these 5 bikes.
you know who you are, respective owners :)

nice one dogsballs. whilst my track bike is in the works i ride my beater fix which is converted from a 27" wheeler like yours. very long, very comfy, with brick-clearance (yous got fag paper? i can stick a brick in mine!). it's slower weaving but isn't really causing too much problem for me.

i love jamaica! reggae, jerk chicken, and fixed riding! beat that!

natureboy [quote]edmundane last night i did top of stoke newington high street to end of walworth road/start of camberwell road on 48:19 within 30mins think that's not bad?

I think I must have spotted you on your way up there :)
I was just eyeing up someone's brand new dark blue Bob Jackson as you went past going north so I was understandably distracted![/quote]

yeah we waved at each other didn't we? you're so easy to spot on your yellow ciocc!

Release weight of the back of the bike and, when your feet are horizontal, pull up with the front foot and lock the rear using clipless pedals.

Because that's what riding fixed is all about.... without that control over the rear wheel (and the fun factor) it would just be like riding a bike where your legs don't stop going round.

don't really need clipless pedals, i don't and i skid quite a lot too. on the contrary a lot of people into doing tricks use clip and straps. and i would say try not to use the front foot focus on pushing now

i wont say it's what it's all about, sheldon the godfather of fix doesn't do it, bikesnob NYC is against skidding, both of them don't ride brakeless but maybe that's another reason for you to do it :P

that's a very good point tommy.

probably is better to get hold of a lockring tool and make sure you're turning it the right way (lockrings are left-hand threaded).

are you ever?

you see the world via a fixed sprocket, how poetic.

it serves the exact opposite function too.
the ones we have will give birth and hope(pleasure, more like), the ones he's got will cause death and fear.

ffub I hope he's sterile... otherwise we're doomed.

he may well be, see that thing in his hands? it's compensation.

vegansdontneedgears i think we should out source everythign to the thrid world to be mass produced... think of the unexpolited labour market in all the under 5yr olds... think of the profits muh ha ha ha ha
