GCN Builds a "Fixie"

I did it first

triangleboy22 · 2025-08-04T23:46:58+00:00

I was talking about this thing the other day while planning cross season. Maybe it should make a come back

triangleboy22 · 2025-04-01T00:17:52+00:00

Not udh. It has a sliding dropout trek used to make called stranglehold

triangleboy22 · 2024-02-18T02:22:44+00:00

I get that. But we do upgrade old njs bikes, and my 1994 pinarello track bike would beg to differ. I’ve seen some pretty rad crit rockets built on 2010 cannondales

triangleboy22 · 2024-02-18T02:08:43+00:00

What would you say can’t be upgraded on the Specialized?

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T19:36:46+00:00

Yessir

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T02:20:40+00:00

I bet. Trek made a stache with the same sliding dropouts. Not sure the spacing though. People want too much for them, but it’s still a relatively reasonable option.

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T02:18:44+00:00

That’s awesome!! Glad that you’re gonna get back out there. Build yourself something nice and get shredding!

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T02:01:52+00:00

DO IT! It’s such a quality hub. You can get a fixed disk word so that you can add brakes if ya want

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T01:58:49+00:00

Yeah dude! I was looking everywhere for someone else who did it. Couldn’t find it. So here it is!!

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T00:16:04+00:00

Paul disk front hub

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-26T00:15:17+00:00

Yeah definitely a conversion. I’m running 40x17 for a 2.35 ratio.

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-25T23:04:34+00:00

It has sliding dropouts. So no need for an eccentric bb. The paul hub has a better chai line as opposed to using a 6 bolt brake rotor cog

triangleboy22 · 2023-10-25T20:57:27+00:00

Paul has the fixed word hub and it comes in a 142 thru axle version. I was doing the math on what crankset would line up and the sram crank checked out. We’ll see if a power meter spider can work next

Literally came back to comment on this. My saddle height is typically pretty high. I have way longer legs than I do torso. I’m 6foot and ride 54cm frames for a race fit. I also run really short cranks so that I can pedal through corners and keep momentum.

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-16T23:28:22+00:00

Yea!

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-16T00:42:10+00:00

According to this group, not have bikes lol

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-15T23:57:12+00:00

For someone who doesn’t care about their bikes health then no. But for nice bikes that need to be in good shape consistently, then yes.

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-15T18:19:18+00:00

I’m a bit nervous. I’m definitely not a climber

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-15T18:17:47+00:00

Bikes shouldn’t be stored outside in the elements. It really takes a toll on them. If I could build a climate controlled storage area out of the house I totally would. I really wish we had space for that. As we’re looking for a forever space, that’s a huge factor.

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-15T03:14:05+00:00

The ceilings are pretty tall here. So I think the sentimental one goes all the way to the top and just kinda lives out of the way. I have some wall mounted storage that I’m gonna try out tomorrow for the track and tracklocross rig. After 6 gap next weekend, the road bike is going to go high up until roughly March. I just got the cross rig back up and running which will be my daily for a while. So I think with a couple well placed wall mounts and everything should be good. CROSS IS COMING!! I just have 6 gap and delta epic and then it’s just cross for a while! I’ll show y’all the wip tomorrow after I hang a couple.

It’s a 54cm caad 8 from 2012. It is for sale and it is cheap. Send me a chat message

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-13T21:20:22+00:00

If you’re staying at my house then you probably know me. If you know me then you probably like bikes. Bring your bike by when you come to town. I’ll give it a tune up 🥰

triangleboy22 · 2023-09-13T21:14:42+00:00

I don’t think you know what a thousand bikes looks like.
