somehow it's very refreshing to see him wearing a helmet, this guy is fucking serious. All the half arsed flatland stuff is quite boring in the other videos, this guy just shows you his seemingly fast foward cadence!
i like how simple his wheelsets are. those are like the ones i ride...not fucking aerospoke or massive deep vs these are cheaper and cooler in my opinion
@theamazingbear lol well that shows how much you know. rainier isn't a hipster. he's actually a professional cyclist. he rides for many companies... on the track and on the street.
@theplaidmonkey I fail to see how this is contrary to my point that most hipsters use a frame slightly undersised for them... I didn't say he wasn't a professional cyclist and the two aren't mutually exclusive. Cycling in a manner typical to hipster culture doesn't mean you can't do professional cycling. Lance Armstrong rode with the MASH guys on a fixie a few years ago in Texas, he's hardly a hipster, doesn't mean he can't fit in with that clique in his riding style there.
@theplaidmonkey Once again, I know. I never suggested anybody should buy a frame too small or big for them. I didn't mean it as advice, I was merely offering my insight. Of course if it's comfortable for you then it is right; whatever people are riding it's still more people cycling which can't be a bad thing in most cases.
@theamazingbear agreed. but... even though its more people cycling most of them don't know the rules of the road and pull stupid shit which gives responsible riders a bad name as well. this is a big problem here in LA. Stupid kids think its cool to run red lights, cut off cars, and make illegal turns. -________-
Yes, it is a great bike to start out with. Just dont pay full price if possible, because I got one for a very good bargain and I would say there are still 2010's going around so you could pick one up fairly cheapish. I wouldnt go splashing out on an NJS frame or a Vigorelli like Rainier straight away, although I for one would love to get a Vigorelli in the future.Bikes direct seem to have good bargains too, or something like a Fuji Track or KHS Flite. You can upgrade parts as you go
yeah you are right, in Milan. To be honest, looking back on what I said I think I may have got it wrong. Try a friends fixed gear, if you like it and you think it is for you, then maybe invest in a quality frame straight away. It will save you from upgrading later, which you will probably want to do. If I was to go back in time I would just have bought a Bob Jackson(Steel) or Cinelli Vigorelli/Mash(Aluminium). It saves money long term.
@Bassmasta1222 Any helmet w/ dot road certification counts, which is about every helmet made. Pick the color and style you like and call it a day, helmets are pretty much all the same except for straps/colors etc.
thanks everyone, I'm looking at a bunch of different cranks, thinking of picking up a Nashbar flip flop hub and switching the lock rings but can't decide what cranks to get. I' looking towards a 47t or 48t crank. suggestionnnnns? (:
@killuhbrew I ride a 48x17 brakeless, which is a good overall gear ratio with plenty of skid patches. I can climb most hills without killing myself or my knees. Skidding is not a problem either. I ride between 18-21mph, spinning easily, anything above that and you're spinning your ass off, LOL. You'll max out at 30-32mph on a flat, but you'll damn near kill yourself from spinning, which is good for improving your overall cadence. Good luck!!
@aztr0zombie well you probably just dont give a fuck what people think about you. or maybe your helmet looks cool, or just better on you than me. literally, like im not even joking, rainier looks cool, my helmet like, sticks 9 inches off of my head. hahahaha.
ahah, it says slow down and he just keeps on going.
