Funny.....the folks at the local BMX track will not let me on the track. They say my single-speed
isn't a BMX bike..... Other than 26" wheels I see no difference at all.

The local velodrome would not let me on the track.

You, or your bike?
Velodromes generally don't allow bikes with brakes, QR skewers, or non-fixed gear. (Allen head
skewers should be ok.) OTOH, some velodromes will have track bikes for rent for a small fee.

Actually, I've raced the velodrome about ten years ago, and did quite well. It was R/C cars however,
and not bikes.

Yeah, bikes without a freewheel! They do have bikes to rent, but you have to take some sort of
course before you ride. I think I'd rather ride the BMX track next to it though.

_ Is that tension seeker on a spring (ie. derailluer-like)? or is it just put in a fixed position?
Regardless, where did you get it?
