it sucks that you can't freewheel with a fixie. seems like you can never take a rest. i think a freewheeler with coaster brake gives you the same braking control, the only thing you miss in comparison is the traction/feel advantage of a fixie.
@Bomenix14 well no shit..... but the moment of the rear wheel carrying the crankset forward makes it easier to maintain a high rpm on flats compared to a freewheel.
@SmoothSkating technically it could be a track bike with a freewheel and that's what it looks like when you deny it being a fixie - also known as a fixed gear bike. I pretty much know all there is to know about this stuff, but nice try.
@nilo2209 how many gear feet is a 52-16 on a 700cx23 tire wit ha 172.5mm crank and how many rpms will i spin at 32mph? i mean, you said you know all there is to know. but, i bet you could tell me how i could fasten playing cards in my rear spokes....couldnt ya...
=[ i suffer going up SF hills on my single gear.. ex fixie. This guy on his fixie flew right past me up four hills before I could muster up five feet of distance. t..t
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Them niggas don't do shit .... they got fucken aerospokes and all that shit on their bikes and roll like they hot stuff and shit ... LIKE OKAYYYY who doesn't know how to skid and bike with no hands ....
@teo829 now if it was some asshole in nyc walking with the bike,or doing lame tricks with with bike shorts i would say ues hipster losers,but these people are riding them because there fun to ride good workout to.
how long do you guys keep your riser bars? i just got new ones and am switching from bullhorns. i have ourys and i don't want to cut my risers too short that i can't turn or trackstand or skid or anhything.
fixies arent faster. i ride and prefer a fixed gear. but its because its a fun ride and tricks are easily(or more easily) pulled off being you have total controll in your feet instead of feet and hand brake.
im not sure if i shoudl get a fixed gear or a single speed, because i liek the idea of the pedals continuosly going around , but like if i was to take a bend to sharp then the pedal would hit the group and then throw me off the bike, which obv doesnt sound so good (N) so shall i get a single speed or a fixed gear ? can someone get back to me on this please ? thank you
I LOVE riding my fixie, but I hate all the people that do it for fashion and trends. I love mine for the simplicity, fun, speed, and danger of a fixed gear.
that probably qualifies you for one of "the people that do it for fashion and trends" since there is no practical advantage to riding a fixie in a city when trying to get from A to B, bitch.
are you kidding me? I just outlined why I'm NOT one of those fags. fixed gears actually go a lot faster than geared bikes with a freewheel on flats. and it's not all about being practical all the time. it's about fun. I mean look at surfing, it's not practical at all but it's fucking fun.
i'm sure you have a good reason to ride fixie. it makes you look cool, hip and trendy AND it is faster than a geared bike with a freewheel on flats...
you're pathetic. you have a fixie video in your favorites. have fun in fucking Lebanon you piece of shit. don't expect me to respond to your next message.
im not arguing, but how are fixed gears faster? they only gave one gear, and you can't rest your legs, you have to keep them moving with the pedals, so it wastes energy. so how are they faster?
@actionjackson9000 Well, it's all about momentum. If you matched two similarly strong riders one full geared and one fixed, the fixed rider would be flat out faster because of less weight and when you ride fixed you get into a groove with your legs that allows you to keep your forward momentum going unlike when you coast where you lose momentum from everything you touch (pavement, wind, gravity). If you were riding cross country you'd want full gear.
its weight. and when u have coast, you don't put as much momentum into each pedal stride then you would with a fixed gear because the cranks do not continue.
@actionjackson9000 they're not. Plain and simple. AND LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW IT!!!! with that said I absoluteley love riding mine. As Smooth Skating said before he/she went on a tirade; its all about having fun. Can't explain why, just try a fixie and you'll know.
@SmoothSkating "fixed gears actually go a lot faster than geared bikes with a freewheel on flats." really? how fast can you go on flat and how long can you maintain that speed? im not tryin to stir anything up here just challenging this statement. i understand the fixie craze but i still hate it. the only reason i see for a commuter to have one is if they are actually a messenger or if your training for a velodrome event. i just think they are dangerous in cities. again, just a challenge :)
Anyone doing it for fashion and trends will either be converted into real fixie riders, or they will stop riding fixed and jump on to the next trend. The fixie is not just a trend anymore, it's a global urban subculture and it ain't going away ever. Instead, it grows bigger each day as more people try and get addicted to the fixed gear feeling. Every time someone chooses the bike over the scooter or car, society wins.
the rider not being 'hip' is a statement, they are saying i change and create what i want- not dressing accordingly to the bikes aesthetic means they see themselves as perfect, and also they dont want to look stupid all dressed up- riding there bikes around town.
after all fixed gear is all about k e e p i n g i t s i m p l e
They look normal as fuck. Could see anyone wearing a coat and a hat... they don't look like hipsters at all. They ride a bike that takes skill to ride. That's the only thing I see that separates them from the rest of the shitty people in the world.
i like how people are calling these people chic-sters/hipsters or what ever when they fail to realize that the base of almost all of the US's fads (fixies, shoes, blah) have been based off of japan's street culture
Above all you HAVE to wear nearly skin tight pants with 5.4 inch rolled up cuffs. I did not notice this on this video. I'm also predicting that wearing 2 different colored shoes will become part of the repertoire .
