..........cornering. Doesn't seem to mentioned often - how do you people cope?
On a routine attempted maintenance this weekend it was noted that my 18+ yr old Kona Cinder Cone - now masquerading as a 'hybrid', is at the beyond economical repair stage of its life.
Really quite fancy a fixed, like the idea of simple, light, quiet and quick - although I've not a gearing realted issue for the past 5500+ miles. I've worked out, the best reason to get one is fitness - gears make you lazy. Been riding simulated fixed this week - no gear changing allowed, and it's fine, no problem with hills, starting and stopping. But, I notice I tend to chuck the bike at quite an angle cornering and this is when I freewheel. Is there a technique or is it the boring answer .............. slow down?
Thanks,
Matt
