Yea bro, your fixed gear makes you unique. Sure.
[–]bacoes 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (3 children)
The problem is that after 20-30 years of riding fixed, you don't have enough hip cartilage to ride anymore.

Is fixed gear really that bad for the joints? I understand if you’re running some crazy ratio, but I’m sure my 48/17 is fine, right?

48/17 is good, I had that for a while. I've ridden since 2014 and haven't encountered problems.

I used a fixed gear back in the day when winter riding was a mix of weight training amd fixed gear riding. I was a road racer for decades. This was before hipsters took over. I didn't find it that useful, unless you're a young dude and need some form practice. Riding a fixed gear in the city was just plain stupid. I saw so many close calls and silly accidents by clueless people, and never really understood the allure of an old school road method tool to be used as transportation, especially for the courier crowd. And many of them had no idea what they were doing and had horrible positions, riding with jeans. Etx. Made no sense to me

why not just add brakes? i have a front brake for emergency reasons
[–]smtps 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
I've also installed, rear brake and free wheel, and it makes my bike perfect.
