If anyone is interested in riding fixed, I have a 700c wheelset with a
sturmey archer tf two speed fixed gear hub, with a few 12 spline cog
options. Rims are velocity. Front wheel is laced to Harden "bacon slicer
hub. I also have the correct tf hub quadrant shifter and shifter cable.
It's a cool hu
Ah contraire. In my case a singlespeed has one speed, slow.

I have one quibble about the title and content of this topic as it seems to
have morphed to a new thread: Singlespeed and fixed are not fungible. They're
very different riding experiences and when someone says "singlespeed", they
mean one gear that freewheels. Thank you carry on.

I prefer riding a fixed gear on windy days. I kinda believe in the "flywheel"
affect, it seems to help in those conditions. It also helps in climbing over
short hills.
One other benefit of fixed gear riding, for me anyway, is that it helps in
dialing in your riding position... especially true o

This very same topic came up recently on the iBob list. Here is my take.
I've been riding fixed since about 1996; almost exclusively fixed since
2004 or so, if not earlier. I've also ridden ss (1X1) off road, after
trying fixed off road and disliking it. I ride in rolling terrain and in

Rivendell Friends,
I have rarely ever experienced a single speed bike. I can count the number
of times one one hand I have ridden one. I know have the opportunity to
build up a AHH and am considering a single speed, or a 1x9(or 10,11,12).
Then reading Rivs email today I saw Will rides a 2x1.
But Rivendell's webpage is wyyy nicer.
Crisp, clean, categories and everything listed under their specific titles.
Easy to navigate and make sense of.

Only stating the obvious, since they are for the Japanese market they'd
be offered in sizes that fit that market.

I'm only guessing but my guess is that 58cm would be considered large

Ryan asked how Lungimsam heard that Riv is making a batch of singlespeeds
"for Japan".
Those of us who are subscribed to receive update emails from Rivendell
Bicycle Works received an email yesterday. In that email, Grant said
something about a batch of singlespeeds for Japan. Ryan, if you
Grant sent an e-mail last night/this morning.

I'd like to know more too. Especially because Grant seemed to allude to an
offering of smaller sizes. Always dream of acquiring a 52cm Quickbeam.
Maybe this mystery single speed could substitute?
