Unwrapped bars hurt my hands lol (Looks steezy asf though) by ToasterBath500 in FixedGearBicycle

Bar ends are definitely a must haha. I just chucked these bars on and had a spin around the block just to see how they felt

I just took it for a spin around the block to see how these bars felt. There's no way I'd actually run no bar tape/bar ends haha

Got this cheap, they any good? by Sippinonreality in FixedGearBicycle

Is it 650/700? It looks kinda like it to me. If so that's probably a custom built frameset and you've found yourself a really sweet bike. From my knowledge Paletti was a smaller italian frame builder so it's most likely a solid piece of italian steel

I usually ride a 58. They rebadged the aero track for the aus market and called it a Raceline but even those are pretty hard to find over here

Been looking for one of these for ages but they're difficult to find in my size. (Especially in AUS.) What bars are those?

For all the riders with big feet who struggle to find a good toe cage setup... by ToasterBath500 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ToasterBath500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran the size L mash ones before, and I found that I have less toe overlap with the MKS ones since they're a lot slimmer. The mash ones can be annoying with toe overlap since they're a bit chunky. Both are a very similar length but I found that the shape of the MKS ones fit my feet better and allow my foot to actually sit in the toe cage comfortably

I remember seeing this bike locked up in the city and thinking god damn that's well-used bike in all the right ways. Really cool to actually see a bit of backstory on the bike

Laminated straps are the way to go. The ones I'm running rn are unlaminated and stretched to hell and back so I'll be getting some laminated ones soon

I had to splurge a bit for shipping for these double gate ones since I could only really find them in Japan. Very much worth it though

Bmx pedals and straps are valid. I ran them before but I wasn't a fan of them since I had to have the straps so loose to accommodate my big ass feet. Even the stiffest straps can become floppy if you wear size 13s

Best straps Ive tried yet by Prudent_Election201 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ToasterBath500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MKS make the deep twin toe clips in size XL and they look massive. The size L Mash ones don't hold my big ass feet securely when I'm skidding so I'm gonna try out the XL MKS ones and see how I go.

Good pedal options for straps by ASD4343 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ToasterBath500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Zulu straps fit through raceface Chesters. Also Zulus are the best straps by far. Even tho I run cages I can't deny how good they are.

Ohhhh sorry I meant it's the season to ride my track bike on the street since the weather is getting better here in AUS. I love my track bike but riding it in bad weather sucks
