...in fact my first ride on a bike of any sort for quite a while. I'm a real noobie here and I'll come back and say 'hi' properly later but I'm at work at the mo. Very quickly though, what's the deal with long fast downhills on a fixed wheel. I've got 2 brakes but they are gonna wear out very quickly and if I let them off the crank speed overtakes my legs and I start bouncing in the saddle ( yeah I know the purists don't have any brakes but I wanna live past the end of the week!),. I'm running 48x18 and SPDs (which I'm used to from my MTB days so no probs there).
Thanks for any advice
Peace
Kurt
