The Fixed Gear Thread!

[sax]

do all three piece cranks need a 9/16" pedal?
and do all one piece cranks need a 1/2" pedal?
and what is the difference between sealed and unsealed pedals?

 

[jtom2343]

anyone know much about single speed 29's?
oh, and would a 19" frame work for me? i stand about 6 foot 4 inches, and i plan to use the bike for mild offroad/street use.

19" might be a little bit too small for you, i ride a medium which is about 17 (its kinda hard to tell with full suspension frame designs) and i'm 5'10

i might look to go a little bigger, 20/21

Alright thanks

Bump with some weird look bikes

68t!!

In case you didn't know, that second bike has a wheelchair wheel on the front.

I really like this bike though-

 

[Knuckleballer32]

at 5'10 you want a 19'' frame

 

[Steezeman]

At 5'10" you'd probably want a 54cm or a tad bigger. At least for a fixed gear frame. 54cm is the measurement of the seat tube, I dunno if you're measuring 19" as the seat tube, too.

he's 6 foot 4 not 5'10

Lance Armstrong's customized trek:

Featuring subtle flat black paint offset by glossy contrast details including Marc Newson's ââ?¬Å?Stroboscopicââ?¬Â rear wheel design that appears to pulse as it spins, the bike brings a new level of design sophistication to the most legendary cycling event in the world while simultaneously flying the flag of cancer awareness in Livestrong yellow.

Thats his time trial bike, and its not a fixed gear.

 

[DonaldM]

Duh...

Update:

New back wheel: Continental Gator Skin
Drop bars
Brakeless


BTW, I know my chain is loose

 

[Steezeman]

Definitely gotta rotate those bars forward a bit, cause there's no way you're comfortably riding the drops like that. I'd say get some bar tape too, or at least track grips.

 

[DonaldM]

Theyre more straight. Have not gotten around to getting tape though. And thanks for the tire suggestion, pricey but soo worth it.

 

[sax]

do you use that for commuting?

 

[DonaldM]

Yup yup

 

[sax]

what lock(s) do you use?

 

[DonaldM]

U lock
