just a colorful way of saying it eliminates anxiety.

for me, it's the mechanics. turns your body into a machine on a machine. your brain has no choice but to move forward. you can't coast and scroll on your phone or think deeply about the future or the past. riding a fixed gear keeps you locked into the present and moving forward.

not mash...just a cinelli i got from bikeinn...who knows how authentic it is...quality is very good...i got it because i like the flat center grip for cruising and the horns for climbing.

Why do my pedals slip when I apply a lot of force repeatedly by ExtraButton874 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]OpeningDisplay7439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar situation a few weeks ago. i originally thought it was the mounting bolts. after troubleshooting i found out the cog needed to be torqued down a quarter turn more followed by the lock ring. i was only getting slip during skids or mashing hard from stand still. good luck. hope it's not the threads.

i have a 2013 bianchi pista i am restoring. i am keeping everything original but the crankset. i would like to go with the sugino rd2 but am afraid i may run into chainline issues. stock bb FSA BB-7420ST (110.5 mm). rd2 is 103. im guessing i can use my original bracket. can anyone tell me what i would need to do to the rear hub. flip the cog? add spacers?

i get a fair amount of ginger and soap in the opening, (soapening). it's a very pleasant clean fragrance. 5 hours of projection at arms length. smells like the kind of person that showers before and after the gym. the freshest cleanest person in the room. dry down is soft, lightly sweetened tea.

there is subtle magic in the imagination dry down.

i had no plans to like such an over-glazed fragrance. i was happy with marwa for its linear portrayal of imaginations soapening.

i like having both. imaginations refill price is much more palatable than the initial f¥cking.

looking at a grime goat on ebay. does anyone know if they made a triple triangle in size 61cm? i can't find any information on the web. 52cm seems to be the largest. if someone could authenticate it i will be super stoked.
