A lot of the uk.rec.cycling guys are into fixed. It's the
salt they put on the roads over here - the less bike you
have, the less gets ruined!

Friction braking vs percussive braking?

Loctite vs epoxy vs welding vs the right parts?

Steel vs aluminum vs carbon vs bamboo?

Campy vs Shimano?

How/Why the old bikes were better/worse/the same?

Chain lubes? (Really, how could they *not* talk about such a
vital subject?)

Helmets. Critical Mass. Lugged vs. TIG. Spoke patterns.
Whether to grease tapers. Necessity of brakes. Flip-flop
hubs. Chainline. Handlebars. Riding centuries. Bike lanes.
Sunglasses. Sunblock. Things to eat. Beer.

Then everyone in Illinois should ride a fixie. The rule
appears to be 1-inch snowfall = 1-inch road salt. 🙁

Dear Steven, Werehatrack, Ted, and Ronald,

You may all be wildly optimistic about the level of interest
and diversity of topics.

There are, after all, only 14 actual threads:

more questions beginners questions Clipless pedal
recommendations help for a novice fixedwheel.org.uk frame
transfers Miche sprocket carrier Novice transmission
questions New Planet X track bike Moulton fixed - good
idea? PBP Chain Tension Fixed gear hub for vertical
dropouts This forum - a great idea! Audax events Wanted -
700c Fixed Wheel

Peter Chisholm may be able to make a massive contribution by
joining this forum. Here are its fifteen posters:
