    I actually caught myself yelling ‘bike lane!’ this morning. Have also been known to occasionally ride my bike in a loop around my floor at work. No tribal look, though.

    you can’t fit the moose mitt over the brake? my moose mitts cover almost to my stem, so I would think there would be room.

    I can get them over the two-finger setup on my bikes as well.

    But you want to check the play a multiple spots until you find the tight spot on the chain where there is less play and make sure that it does not bind at that spot. Just like a motorcycle.

    I should add that I’m perfectly happy to part it out, so if anyone just wants the frame and original fork, lemme know.

    All this talk of fiddling around with fixed gears got me into the garage to work on my bikes this evening and had a very unexpected result. Made me decide to sell the s-works Langster. I know this isn’t the right thread, but since I figure folks who read this are interested in fixed gear bikes, I thought I’d put it out there.

    So…the whole stopping elegantly thing is as much about timing your arrival at your intended stopping place as anything else. I typically try to time things so I don’t have to actually stop.

    Usually 48×16. Sometimes 48×15 on the lighter bike. Currently 48×17 on the steel frame because I’m still nowhere near full strength.

    And I had a nice ride up the W&OD with Dismal just before we crossed paths, dcv. The fixed quotient was high yesterday.

    Surly tugnuts are great for extending the time between retensioning your chain. I also bought Phil hubbed wheels through Velomine and have been happy with them. I went fixed/fixed but in retrospect I would probably just go with a single sided fixed, too.

    Little chilly yesterday morning, but the view from Key Bridge sure was nice. (Taken around 7 am.)

    You just missed me heading downriver. I always look up as I pass under the bridge to see if I can spot anyone I know.
