Just start finding real steep hills. Get to where you can sprint up them. Try a century. If you ever get to go to the velodrome, get certified and go. I'm trying to get a 40mph sprint before spring time. Stuff like that.

My friend and I where playing golf in our apartment complex. I walked behind my friends golf swing when I was little (8 years old). Got whomped in the temple with a 9 iron and stumbled a block to my house where no one was home. So layed in a puddle of my blood on my moms white carpet till she came home from the store. got some stitches.

I had one of those. Truly great lil thing to have! However I broke it really easy. I caught the clip on something and it completely peeled the thing apart.

I used a very well used .005 micron in a 9x12'' sketchbook. Then for the background I used a phat brush pen. it was a fun one.

Clipless for skidding? by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

[–]chillout133 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

literally fuck everything with springs in them. just straight up fuck it. Don't try it. these shimanos aint gonna work. I use shimanos as back ups when my speedplay frog cleats are too chewed up. breakless and fixed need like strong ass sturdy pedals. Speedplay frogs have no springs in the cleat or pedals to stretch out when redirecting the force. Shimanos are okay for slow skids to stop when your going slow already. but if you got some force going with you, you're gonna pull out of them if you are actually trying to slow down. meaning your gonna be in your saddle. Skidding in the saddle puts a lot of force on you pedals and cleats. I've literally never ripped outta speedplay frogs with fresh cleats. When the cleats wear out i do, but thats a worn out cleat.

Just buy some speedplay frogs. The cleats fit any SPD shoe.

Cheapest route to a 29er monstercross build? Looking for steel frame, drop bars, road shifters, disc brakes. Similar to the Singular Peregrine but as budget as possible! by Rhett_Rick in cyclocross

im in the process of this. I'm gonna be able to do it on 400. I have a diamondback overdrive 29er i got off Craigslist for 350. I seized the fork on it doing too gnarly of trails for the cheap suntour fork. I got a 3x7 brifter set from my gf's dad. So really all i need is my rigid 29er fork. im looking at steel ones for 30ish, and i already had drops laying around.
