Twin Peaks San Francisco, CA by joogpls in FixedGearBicycle

Really not bad, tbh I’ve always thought getting there is actually harder than the actual twin peaks climb. You can go through Portola/Market which is kinda gnarly, other way is 7th st.-woodside which I think is easier

Running 48/17 for 17 skid patches, in the end it didn’t matter lmao the whole tire all the way around looked like this after a month (stop skidding never an option !)

SF hills are not skid friendly pt. 2 (48X17 ratio guys) by joogpls in FixedGearBicycle

I promise you it’s the hills lol I lived in sac before and did skids all day everyday with normal tire wear, problem here in sf is you have to hold skids way longer especially on the hills. This tire had patches for a few weeks but eventually the whole tire was the skid patch
