Fixed Pants™ Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 The other fat pants is just some fag trying to copy me...You've got bikeradar, cycling plus, london fixed gear single speed (not very roady, but 700c at least) and then probably localish cycling clubs.

Mark W Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Or for those after performance rather than posturing? If you're actually after a road bike, get gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yeh you would be, on flat. If you are talking about actual road riding though with hills and stuff, not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sure?I've caned past roadies on this shitty hill i went up yesterday, even after 10 miles. It's a full on pain in the arse cos it's dragging for about a mile or something, then goes really steep. I was just in a low gear, going slowly up this hill on that 1800 quid road bike i had yesterday, on my fixed, i'd be pushing away but it wouldn't hurt too much, certainly not the same amount if i was using the same gearing on the road bike...

Muel Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) When you say shitty hill, is it actually a proper steep one? I've only ever ridden up here so the hills are generally pretty steep. I'd never dream of trying them fixed or singlespeed.EDIT: Ever ridden a track? If you havn't, you really need to. I went to a thing at the velodrome in Manc once, it was surprisingly fun.

Fixed Pants™ Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I mean pretty f**king steep, not something a small car would struggle with, but a f**ker.Na, i'm gonna try get to herne hill, but it's outside, and not very banked, so it's pretty crap...

JD™ Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) The other fat pants is just some fag trying to copy me...Didn't we come to the conclusion that that was actually you? Sure?I'll be sure to tell Mr Menchov to use a fixie on todays stage of the Giro d'Italia, as otherwise he could lose vital seconds to Di Luca and lose his lovely pink jersey. On the other hand, he does shave his legs and is competing for the right to wear pink so maybe you're right and gears really are for (really quick on a bike) queers.

Mark W Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I think i'm actually faster on my fixed.Glen, you're fighting a losing arguement here. Think about what bikes people who do road riding tend to ride if they're actually after genuine performance, not 'I think I did alright going up that hill' performance. Went on a 45 mile hilly time trial route with my Dad when I was back in Wales, did it in about 2 and a half hours on his road bike. On a fixie, it would've taken a f**k tonne longer, assuming I'd actually be able to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Glen I'll happily race you on my roadie my longest ride so far is only 30 miles but I'm up for that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
