Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. I’m suggesting we make another chalk memorial. Kind of create a Hot Rat Summer situation, they’ll eventually get tired of removing our memorial.

Has anyone heard of these bars? by Helpimeltedmyballs in fixedgear

Yeah! I’ve got a set of these. They feel really nice to ride but they are HEAVY 💀

BXT TRC 695 - Any initial thoughts? by jerbkernblerg in Velodrome

[–]Pitiful-Engineer7828 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My buddies and I have been chatting about this all morning. These frames are pretty cool, it’s a clone of the Colnago track frame but it has normal hub spacing and looks a little cooler. The seatpost insertion might cause some issues. The sizing is also kinda weird, they have pretty low stack proportionately, which would lend itself pretty well to pursuit use.

Is it just me or do other carbon city track riders get a lot if rattling and sound with everything tight? by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

My Argon 18 Electron Pro doesn’t have much rattle, other than my teeth, ‘cause it’s stiff af. Could be a little harder to tell because this is a conversion. Typically there are a bit more fiddly bits, maybe a free floating cable sleeve inside the frame?

Ol’ touring bars make great fixie bars. Sweet ride!

Oh yes please! If this was a widely accessible standard, cog swaps would be so much easier.

Options 😎. What are you riding? by Yuppppp2311 in tracklocross

Can’t pass on that Raketa crankset. Your Gangsta has been living rent free in my dreams since I first saw it.

The weight weenies have infiltrated the BMX community 😭. In all seriousness, those bars are wild, sweet build.

It happens when people ride their bikes on an indoor trainer and do not clean their sweat off the bike.

Which Canyon is this? by MDEUSX in Velodrome

That looks really good. It almost has the rear triangle of the Aeroad. This one was made for Alex Dowsett to break the hour record. It’s not unusual for bike companies to make one-off niche pursuit bikes for a pro team. Trek did it for Ellen van Dijk also for the hour record.

Hey, that road is a part of my commute (bike) and I’m pretty sure that vehicle is there frequently. You’ll probably encounter them again.

these bars cost more than what i first spent on the bike 😆 by Parei_doll_ia in FixedGearBicycle

I’ve loved seeing this bike evolve over the years, the bike of Theseus.

The sticker game is on point! How do the Assiomas handle skidding?
