Running cost 5 times as much energy compared to cycling - I read somewhere.

What is this talk about shim and levers?

^^^my fucking point

Rad pic though.

Ok

Aestetichs are out of the SSCX equation - people who spread negative vibes in this very thread either doesn't ride their SSCX bike 3 times a week or are just lost souls <3

Nate you've come to the right(eous) place aka. The Joy. FixedGearCX is indeed possible - and people do it with remarkable results (I for one finished an 8 stage race in one day Sweden based run). When you are that comfortable as you describe riding fixed, you wont be worned down on the 150rpm descends that every course inhabits. But there is a leap you'll have to work on to reach your optimum performance on a cx'ish track - and that is choosing when to get off the bike, whenever the course gets too technical or lack of traction on uphill muddy sections. The goal is not to remain seated on the bike the whole course, but complete in the fastest possible effort.
When you cancel out the technical muddy stuff in your gear-of-choice calculator - you'll probably find your self comfortable between 60-65 GI - dependent on thousand factors.
Keep us posted on how it turns out.

Danish swimmer not believing the European Record she just made.

So racing improves the breed, and its effects can be very long lasting.

Star quality

I'm thrilled to see a CX-mielec BLAW!!

I doesn't agree on the headlight part of the perfect setup - loss of depth perception on obstacles due to no shadow throw from headlight mount. Wide spread beam the winner (wide angle lens on T6) - handlebar mounted.

No trust in eyetalians who doesn't sweat post race.

Ribble and power meter since we are in the winters.

headtube angle is quite ridiculous.

Some of the fastest bikes ridden are the Stayer bikes with an equal trail as the one you commented on.

Don't lean

From 55 to 36-38 in 5 years (34 the lowest I have measured). My fitness has gone up a lot, but I'm far from elite.So pulse, less much.

I don't know the difference between Hal 9000 and Tester anymore.

It's real. Believe it or not it is possible to ride a bike like that.
Look at his right arm, you can see the dust on it from previous attempts where it touched the ground. No potatoes were chopped in the making of that picture.

In this video the rider even touches the ground with the handlebar somewhere around the 10'th minute I recall www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLXoR8mcLM
