Fixed

Ridgeback Solo World brakes

How are you fixed for skid marks?

If you ride a fixie then this website will help you choose the right gear ratio and tell you how many bald spots are going to appear on your back tire. Also, if you have an iphone, I have put a link to where you can get the app for that too.

Helpful website: http://software.bareknucklebrigade.com/rabbit.applet.html

A helpful geek built this for your iphone: www.jpmartineau.com/iphone/bicycle-gear-calculator. to install it: www.tinyurl.com/bikegears <= will open iTunes. Get it while it's free. Hope this will help to solve my-gear-ratio-is-bigger-than-yours disputes.

The EAI Gold Medal Premium sprocket is different. Most fixed sprockets are designed with bevelled teeth- slants designed to counteract imperfections in chain tension and/or chainline. However, these often make for a noisy transmission until they bed in.

Where do Rapha find their wool? It says 100% extra fine Merino on the label but we know for a fact that no normal wool is this soft. They must have a whole flock of sheep hidden away somewhere that are fed exclusively on marshmallows and soufflé. And, if wool like this exists, why did we have to endure that Brillo Pad stuff for years?
