[daydaygets]

are toshi double straps njs certified?

[MrHandro13]

@daydaygets No, but the singles are. If you want NJS stamped straps get alphas

[OxygenMcgee]

Aerospokes are cool, but I REALLY am not going to pay 350 dollars for one. No way. Ill just get pimp out the rest of my bike for that much.

[raysnub]

i would kill for his set up. omfg. nigga pushes two HED-3's, discs, velodrome set ups on the the street. love this dude.

[xTheMrAnonymous]

52x15 :)

[ohnmoj]

53x17 my friends ;)



[megafixierider]

@MrHandro13 ty

[megafixierider]

at 3:10 did he drop something?

[MrHandro13]

@megafixierider Beanie.

[ilovepandas901]

Is 48/19 a good ratio for track?

[xTheMrAnonymous]

@ilovepandas901 52x15

[enjoistik]

is 49x18 a good ratio?

[MrHandro13]

@enjoistik its very average good if you want to have a decent speed bike and be able to do some tricks but you wont be exceptional at either.

[enjoistik]

@MrHandro13 What is, in your opinion, the best ratio?

[MrHandro13]

@MrHandro13 I personally ride 47 16, it gets me places and isn't too tough to do tricks on when im feeling like doing so, like wheelies and such. I sometimes use my 15 tooth cog on longer rides, but 47 16 is my daily pusher.

[MrAnsonHunter]

I met a fixie guy in the street."Road bikes are sooo passé!"

"It's triathlon bike...nice rims,"

red light....he did a trackstand...I clipped in and balanced too, we rode to the next light. He did a whip skid to stop...I jammed the rear brake and followed in suit. We balance again,green light, I haul ass of the line and beat him, next light. he slides to a stop, legs all tangled in the frame, one foot on the handle bar, "Pretty sweet huh?"

"yeah I guess...watch this" we come off the line.......

[MrHandro13]

@MrAnsonHunter Did you really spend the time to think of and post that?

[MrAnsonHunter]

@MrHandro13 I took the time to figure out how to post it so it would read right, but it really happened. Bloomington IN on one of our ungodly hot august days. he had a trek district (the one with orange wheels) an I was out riding my '09 equinox 9. We talked trek bikes before the epic showdown...I've seen him since, he bought me a beer...really nice dude, Russell Randers or something like that.

[MrHandro13]

@MrAnsonHunter Oh ok thats actually pretty cool, sorry lol the story made me laugh though haha

[MrAnsonHunter]

Neck and neck, I go aero,he still keeps pace.I cant match the streamlined combo of form fitting skinny jeans combined with a wind tunnel tested Haynes V-neck. His little Ramen fed legs went to what seemed like 1200rpm...

."Watch what?" he sneered as he began to pull away

"This" I said and I reached my hand out and...click click click BANG! Chain up on the big ring and off I went.

The last thing I heard was "Not Cool Bro!"

I lifted my head and quizzically thought, " He just say Bro? How Ironic!"

[ehilado06]

03:10 did he just lost shoe?

[BabylonGenocide149]

@ehilado06 Nuh uh it was his beanie. That'd be nuts though, So fast I lose my shoes! haha

[TheTrueThaiboi]

I love how he skids at the car at 1:43 I may have to start doing that too :)

[TheTrueThaiboi]

chainring looks small because he has a large frame. What doughnuts

[MrHandro13]

@TheTrueThaiboi At 0:42 you can clearly see his chainring is small because if youve ever seen a 50 plus Zen youd know theyre huge, while his is obviously not, and why would a ( judging by the tt and dt distance) 57cm frame make any difference in the perception of his chainring? His frame isn't large at all.

[bloozn69plus1]

what are your gear ratios? im on 46-12 and i cant reach my max pedaling speed cause of the 12t cog

[MrHandro13]

@bloozn69plus1 Colin rides 49 17 now idk bout this vid tho his Zen looks pretty small tho

[MrHandro13]

damn, campy shamal, hed 3 spinergy stealth, spin trispoke, deep v, zipp disc, and an aerospoke. Fuckin badass

[Adrian13346]

@misturxtwistrer probably ebay or craigslist since they,re not made anymore

[misturxtwistrer]

where does he get his trispokes from?

[xKiiDxRaMbOx]

@misturxtwistrer Look up Hed 3 thats what i think he has on his bike

[MrHandro13]

@misturxtwistrer Hes got a rear spin trispoke or a specialized trispoke and the front is a 650 HED3

[lootpackrap1]

0:40 hahahahahahahahaa

[LxTxSURGE]

ill jack that disk for thinking he looks cool on a slow ass ratio some thing to smash

up those hills

macframa sounds like gay coffee no offense to macframa lovers

[jdawg4334]

@LxTxSURGE well, whats your ratio bro?

[LxTxSURGE]

@jdawg4334 50 13 .but i want to get a 50 17

[jdawg4334]

@LxTxSURGE you ride 50 13?!?!?!?!?!?!? are you fucking serious?!! how do you even tolerate that, thats like 101 gear inches!!! hahaha, is that why you want to swtich? the 17 seems a little light man, i think that you should go for a 16, maybe a 15 if you still wanna leave some roadies in the dust.

[cxbra]

I love how he's rockin a new wheelset in every shot, yet his bike stays the same. I bet that Pista Concept (and Super Pista) is killer!

[Frankhasnolife]

This is fucking outrageous.

[8InchBowlCut]

all different wheel setups....same frame

[AmuZeDesignZ]

I've been riding fixed for years and ive always ridden 48/16

[MrBentlarsen]

Riding brakeless is pure stupid. i wish i was stupid!

[jdawg4334]

@MrBentlarsen its not stupid when you know how to stop correctly and efficiently.

[MrBentlarsen]

@jdawg4334 So what if your chain drop or snap in the middle of at crazy hill!

[jdawg4334]

@MrBentlarsen id do what massan does, and besides, thats never gonna happen, do you know anyone where that has happened to? i dont. and i ride an njs chain so thats literally never gonna happen.

[MrBentlarsen]

@jdawg4334 full respect man!



[jdawg4334]

@MrBentlarsen haha, thanks? :]

[cxbra]

@MrBentlarsen Then you take your power foot of and stick it in your back wheel. I call that the fixed-gear emergency brake.

[Peraltaskies69]

48x17

Best gear ratio.

;)

Ssssshhhhhhhhhh

[408Albert]

@Peraltaskies69 hey man im running a 50x16 on my bike but i am not able to skid sitting on the seat. do think this ratio would be good to get to places and be able to do tricks? thx

[Peraltaskies69]

@408Albert If you want to do tricks, go with a 46x17. You pedal a lil more and can do tricks easy because all my friends run that ratio and do them. I personally don't like doing tricks and 48x17 gives me that faster edge in pedaling because all i want to do is just ride my bike. You pedal less but it's a lil harder to push but hardly a difference.

[skateenough]

@Peraltaskies69 AGREED!

[jdawg4334]

diggin the 0 dislikes. :]

[8InchBowlCut]

48x16 works good in waikiki:)

[LeGiiTxxxx]

that last hill.....Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

[drakonzebra]

That band, Aluminum Dream is from 1968 and played only once at some obscure art event. It would be shame if they made second song, couldn't like them then.

[zerodeath3]

hey just a quick question whats a good ratio to ride with??

[mcmarga]

@zerodeath3 48x16 ;)

[AnFinsceal1]

@mcmarga That is one of the worst ratios in my opinion...

[MrHandro13]

@AnFinsceal1 why?

[cxbra]

@mcmarga I'd run 48/16 on a smoother place without many hills, and a 48/18 on the other side of the hub (if you have a flip flop hub) for the areas with hills.

[mcmarga]

@cxbra good choice ;) sadly i don't have a flip flop hub, so i stay away from hills.

but when i'm training on the road, i use 48x15 :)

i don't understand why that dude said 48x16 is such a bad gear... it's pretty good for flat city riding

[Davidiimo]

@mcmarga i think its due to the skid patches, burns through gator skins ..

[jdawg4334]

@cxbra thats like, perfect dude.

[jdawg4334]

@zerodeath3 i ride with 54 17 and its literally.... amazing.

[MrHandro13]

@jdawg4334 damn, thats a pretty heavy gear. Ya got some beastly legs there buddy

[jdawg4334]

@MrHandro13 thanks man. :] its honestly not that bad, i tried 54 15 for about 3 days and went back to 17 as fast as i could. hahahaha.

[MrHandro13]

@jdawg4334 Haha i know what you mean man, trust me you ride a tougher ratio than 80% of fixed gear riders, I got respect for ya

[jdawg4334]

@MrHandro13 thanks a bunch man. :] 

[Bibelbabys]

@jdawg4334 i hate guys having no idea what they are doing

ask some road bikers for help, they do not ride big ratios !

pedal faster saves more energy and is very effective.

if you ride about 70km/h you will need that ratio .. so, learn to pedal fast !!!!

[jdawg4334]

@Bibelbabys why would you want to save more energy? lower gear ratios dont build up as much muscle or cardio as higher gear ratios do. ive never seen a roadie who was actually going fast ride a small ratio, the ones who go 40km/h+ the whole ride always ride big, 85+ gear inch gear ratios.

and i know how to pedal fast, i rode 46 17 for two years, and now after 2 months of riding 54 17, based on my experiences and opinions, its way better, easier, and more manageable and convenient / efficient

[dazed691]

What kind of bianchi frame does he have?

[AZIONEnchilada]

@dazed691 "

pista concept" not sure what year though

[AW1NT3RFR34K]

@dazed691

[rattanalauguico]

[dahhwits40]

Keep the beard

[beachblood666]

@goldenate i ride a hed disc and i feel pretty cool! ive gotten laid by 4 different girls since i got it so i must be semi-cool

[tennispimp14]

@goldenate. When ure a Macaframa rider, certainly

[birthplaguedie88]

:39 is fucking insane

[isaae86]

Is it true that he can't read nor write?

[50nollieman]

wen i skid(the noob way i just strted!) it hurts my reakin balls!any tips?

[goldenate]

Does riding a Zipp clincher on the street make you cool?

[vansskater]

@goldenate yes.

[djCsyck]

Press 2 over and over.

[fuzzydizzle]

that LAST STREET HOLY SHIT

[tnut28356]

That last street, i think its pacific, its a lot crazier than it looks. The video i am afraid doesn't do it justice. Gnarly.

[cuhh7]

I wanna look like you guys look wen you guys ride because you guys are all the way like in the front do you have to put your seat all the way infront and does the hight of your seat post matter if it does can you tell me how high it needs to be,and also does it depend on the kind of stem you have,and what kind of ratio do you have if anyone can answer me thanks

[tnut28356]

@cuhh7 well if you raise your seat dramatically, which is what most of these guys do because they ride small frames, it gives you that aggressive forward look. It will also give you more torque for your wheelies =)

[ChodeRigga]

man the thing is when i ride luckily there are no cars when i cross a red but what do u when there are cars coming... riding brakeless going 30 - 40 mph

[zerodeath3]

how do you whip skid? 

[AZIONEnchilada]

@zerodeath3 youll need toe clips

[jdawg4334]

@zerodeath3 watch my vid man.

[THEFTB62395]

this guy is one of the best love all your bikes dude keep it up

[Akselseifert]

Awesome dude... now get the rid of that beard!!!

[nathen1990]

@Akselseifert fuck you dude your just mad because you cant grow one beards fo lyfe

[Akselseifert]

@nathen1990 No...

[cxbra]

@Akselseifert Fuck that bro, baby faced is a sucker's game.. There are kittens and there are lions.. some people prefer to be beasts..

[norecess89]

@Akselseifert what beard? you mean mustache?

[shadow90723]

how you skid sitting down

[jdawg4334]

front really hard and push back with the leg in back really hard and at first, you might get a little skid for a split second or you might just get it. if you dont, keep trying.

any size of clips smaller than large makes this harder, and tighten your straps a little tighter than usual if they arent already super tight.

[jdawg4334]

@shadow90723 its pretty hard to learn without toshis, fit alphas, or dual sprints, but its still possible. i learned on heavy duty zip ties.

but basically, youre not literally sitting on your seat, but standing up a little if you will. at first, try leaning forward a tiny bit, where your knees are right in the middle of the top tube, and before you attempt at skidding, push your knees together hard so that your thighs are being placed against the top tube, and then pull up with the leg in

[jamesllcool]

stop saying "hella" you fags

[MistaJayD]

@jamesllcool shut up your hella gay

[sk83r96]

@jamesllcool

i gave u a thumbs up cus its fukin retarded when ppl say that but noyones actually said it here so stfu u dunce

[jamesllcool]

@sk83r96

[sexpantherize]

@jamesllcool they are probably from nor cal so leave it be.

[MegaGiggity69]

XD This guy is pretty much set for track. Hella aerospokes everywhere, a couple of tris, and a disk... Chris Hoy eat your heart out.

[jdawg4334]

@MegaGiggity69 i hope you know that chris hoy is like, a record holder.

[cervelo105]

lol all the track cycliest be like wtf zipp this on street i must be dreaming

[thienly]

wtf skidding on a tubular....a tubular disc....schweet

[jdawg4334]

@thienly it could possibly be a clincher.

[xdsk0x]

ZIPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LittoBUbbo]
