hay paddy y don't u write to me

hey

well yes, or maybe in a lot of traffic/high speed the lockring will slip, chain fall off and tie itself in your wheel, chucking you off your bike and to your inevitable death.... :D haha unlikely but it has happened before, although it sometimes just happens when the chain snaps.

i have one break at the moment but am weening myself off of it for my future bike

i guess you must have a brake...?

oooh, is it a suicide hub? meaning a hub without track threading? (reversed threading for lockring)
If so thats what I used to have, although its not great for skidding :P and is potentially dangerous

yeahyeah I'm all for local shops

sure, give me a shout when you do, although I'll probably be there anyway as bike polo is on a sunday, right opposite BLB. It's cool looking at BLB but -if you don't mind me saying- people say their prices are over-inflated and customer service is pretty poor, and I'm sure the Fixed gear london lot can get you some stuff cheaper if you ask 'em.

haha but seriously you need to watch mash, its just so well done - well can you expect any less from gabe morford? :P - and the skill involved is pretty immense
looking forward to macaframa aswell
@ pimping track bike: yeah i guess everyone does, but tbh for most things they're pretty impractical, and I think I'm gona stick to 2nd hand and vintage stuff, untill ted (superted - sponsored by charge etc) gets his designs done for a trick specific bike for charge to make. I may be tempted by one of those
well, if you're ever in london give me a call or something
hmm, you're new so I can't private message you my number, but drop me a message if you're down

2 months? same here. haha I hang out with fixed gear london, they're pretty cool guys, and have you seen the new bootleg sessions? its pretty cool.
i brought an old roadie off ebay aswell, then got a new back wheel etc.
so where do you ride/live?

welllll..... i been ridin about two months now i suppose. I first got into it cause my freind got given a old school road bike but he couldnt ride it so he just gave it to me and i just loved the speed of it and the free feeling lol anyway then i sorta found all the fixed stuff on the internet like fixedgearlondon n bootleg sessions n macaframa and shit and anyway it looked pretty wicked so i decided i'd buy an old ebay roadie and convert it myself whickh i did and here i am lololol yeah one of my freinds is a proper roadie kid n does all racin n shit n he really likes the fixie so we are preparing to go shoppin for one for him in the summer suometime im like the only person where i live that rides fixed!! hows about you??
