Hi, Sid from cali here. Im *brand new to fixed gear riding. (*I had a fixed beach cruiser...). I just picked up a fixed gear conversion 10 spd from ebay....
heh I just read a post about 65mm vs 170mm and it helped with a few of the other questions I had. but Im still not sure about the rideability ... Here...
Hey Sid! It's helpful to measure in gear-inches. To translate cog teeth into gear inches, see the gear chart on www.fixedgearfever.com. Or do this. Assuming...
Welcome Sid!
42/12 on a 27 inch wheel gives you a 94.5 inch gear, which is tremendous. = It means you'll have a tough time starting and stopping, and moving...
42 x 12 is 94.5 inches. that's pretty steep for road riding. you may want to switch the cog to something larger, 15 or so. crank length is not a factor when...
so all i'm starting a new project. i picked up a beautiful gitane from dave in canada, who y'all have seen around here. So now i'm looking to pick up some...
hey I've got a question, does anyone know the calculation to convert from cadence/wheel length into miles per hour? or for that matter miles per hour and...
this should work for you... i think... g = gear-inch ratio rpm = rpm value 60 = minutes in an hour 63,360 = inches in a mile MPH = Miles Per Hour (g * rpm) *...
i made a major typo! the number of inches in a mile should be: 63,360 NOT 36,360 i erased the message quickly after sending it, and you caught it before i...
Ok, I need to get a crankset for my fixed gear I'm building. Does anyone have a lead on a decent source crankset at a reasonable price. I'm going to run a...
Nice to see you guys, Greg and Vince, and anyone else that was there, I'm sorry i ddin't catch up to you. It was a cool event, but somewhat disappointing- not...
... Ah it was there, you just have to look for it. Moss finally caught up with me for a hub and I cleared out my daughter's bikes, but I didn't have much...
Yes, Rob made out pretty well. Old Skool Vince got 2 drop stems (a Cinelli and a Nitto). He also got a inch-pitch chain, 'cause he's re-doing his Pinarello...
Hooligans F/G represented, CT Chapter....muddy dickies, muddier vans, soaking wet messenger bags, and huge grins! i'm bummed we didn't get to meet up with ya...

Hey Steven, You know, I think I *did* see the CT Fixed-Gear Hooligans, mistook them for some NYC-ers. I might have been staring at their soaked messenger bags...
Whoo woo! I had my first solid trackstand- held it for some 20 seconds. It was nice- I felt really good. I still have work left before it's down pat, but big...
maybe in the spring you could have an 'old skool track' booth! folks from all over could check in and get to meet other folks from the message board, as well...
Good idea - maybe we'll even come up with some stuff to sell. We will be at the NYC Bike Show in the spring 2004, and will be inviting folks to bring their...
Cool! It's a meditative thing actually. When you find that spot, it gets into you. And even when you are not on your bike, you can actually summon up and...
you have some really cool merchandise to offer, it would be great to buy it directly from you. ... From: Gregory Goode [mailto:goode@...] Sent: Tuesday,...
I think we can come up with some good stuff, esp. if we canvass our NYC crew. I'm thinking drop stems. Saddles. Frames. I have a very narrow (36-38cm I...
wow! combine track parts/components, 'specially the vintage stuff from folks' collections/stashes, with the 'old skool track' shirts, hoodies, and so on and...
It was a few months ago when I first "got" trackstands. After about a month of trying them, one day it just clicked. I was so psyched! Now I can ride to...
i'd be down for submitting any artwork for printing, should you need some. xSx ... From: Gregory Goode [mailto:goode@...] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003...
