Benefits of fixed ?

[iendicott]

I tend to use different muscles when I ride fixed compared to geared. The tops of my legs are used alot more as I learn to slow down my speed with the pedals rather than the brakes.

I notice a massive difference on gears after prolonged riding fixed. The same distance fixed is a lot more pedalling than on gears so of course it has more effect.

More power, better pedalling technique, better use of gears, quicker acceleration, better spin AND better grinding.

If you don't find this then you can't have been doing it right!
