YOU NEED A SS OR FIXIE!

[palinurus]

Trouble with fixed is you get lazy.

Once I rode a geared bike to work and I got fed up of maintaining the gears.

Then I got fixed. After a while I took off the rear brake so I didn't have to maintain the rear brake and rim.

Then I thought hub brake front.

Now I'm getting lazy about maintaining the chain. Thought about a chain case.

But direct drive is way more manly.

But then there's pedals to maintain. fark it, go hobby-horse.

Naw, get the bus.

Who wants to farking work anyway?

Woman, get me a beer outta the fridge willya?

No, sounds like you did not service them properly.

@totallyfixed - I can never see the smilies in your posts! (Or whatever they are - I assume they are smilies, but I only ever see a blank IMG tag! I am assuming that nobody else can see them either?)

I just see a square as well

I can see it now, but it takes a lot of imagination.

Is that what you meant to post or are you saying you're ignoring everyone who ?

 

[totallyfixed]

I have absolutely no idea (a permanent state of mind). I have huge hands (no smutiness please) so when I post on my phone I frequently hit the wrong key. This is particularly the case when descending on fixed and typing at the same time.
Perhaps Ed has some ideas?
