-_67_- Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Why am I so tall? Why are 66 cm frames so goddamn hard to find? Why does my lady think fixies are dangerous and stupid? Why did my Peugeot get stolen, leading me to get fat riding the bus? WHyyyyyyyyy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Hell Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 You shouldn't have too hard of a time finding bikes that size unless you are shopping for keirin frames specifically. Check ebay, they always seem to have a few large sized bikes on auction. As far as your girl goes, everyone thinks fixed gears are dangerous until they get used to it. Sollution? Get her one. Go single speed/ficxed flip flop hub style and then talk her into going on a lazy slow ride with the fixed side...she'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the man the myth the GOON Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 fixies ARE dangerous in that if you ride hard you're bound to fuck your knees up. i've met a bunch of people who've ridden for years with no issues, but i know enough that have fucked their knees up really bad. those who haven't, i'm convinced they'll get their's soon enough and regarding frame size: i'm always pissed that the frames on ebay are so fucking huge (i ride a 54/55...) and those are hard to come by. ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the man the myth the GOON Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 oh. and what is the difference between observed trials and regular trials? after watching the video i think observed is just a bonus word?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Brock Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 insanity. http://videos.observedtrials.net/Gravity.wmv Yeah, its a lot of fun. oh. and what is the difference between observed trials and regular trials? after watching the video i think observed is just a bonus word?... There's no difference; Bike trials, observed trials, trials, they're all just different names for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbish heap two Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 fixies ARE dangerous in that if you ride hard you're bound to fuck your knees up. i've met a bunch of people who've ridden for years with no issues, but i know enough that have fucked their knees up really bad. those who haven't, i'm convinced they'll get their's soon enough and regarding frame size: i'm always pissed that the frames on ebay are so fucking huge (i ride a 54/55...) and those are hard to come by. ha Do the people that fuck their knees up just rock a lower seat? I decided to give it a try and take my seat down a few inches one day, and man were my knees in pain for ther rest of that day... then I put it back to the default super high pseudobuttrape position and my knees do fine. I'm not about to forcefully slow my pedalling if theres' a sudden red light at the bottom of a hill though, I'll just skid it... Or maybe it's because I take MSM (which basically your body turns into gloucosamine inside your body, as well as a million other things because your body needs it like a vitamin) and that's why my knees don't hurt. Oh well. Fixies are fun and now when I try to ride a freewheel it just feels strange and I hate the fact that your control is based on how you use your brakes on a freewheel, as opposed to how you pedal with a fixie.

A computer mouse isn't dangerous because the way you use it gives you carpal tunnel syndrome, just change you're position, or the size of it and things will improve. Yeah, I know a ton of people who fuck their knees up too, and it's for stupid reasoning. Ride fast then try to lock up..Yeah of course that will wear on your knees. So how about some bike grace?..skip instead of skid, turn into your skip to re-position yourself so you don't need to always be locking up so hard... People ride bikes so stupidly for no reason(and dude, I was a messenger so I realise sometimes you gotta go fast, but come on) that they fuck themselves up. Solution? Ride smarter. Its not the bikes fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Brock Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Oh and the chain isn't on there either. Maybe after tommorow's ride I'll have some pictures of me riding trials but I mostly will be taking pictures of my pals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the bikes fault. i'll give you that one... as far as the 66cm frames go: don't do a search that specific. just go to cycling, then frames. then scroll through. i just did this. didn't see a 66, saw a few 62s and a 64 though.

King Of Hell Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 If you do a search for "track bike" you should get decent results. Alot of the time the size isn't posted in the title on places lik ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Hell Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Also another thing that can fuck your knees up on a track bike, is size. If you go a tad small its better than a tad too big. You can always raise your sat post or get a longer stem, whereas you can't really shorten the bike if its too big. It's important to get as close to what you need as possible to get the most out of it. My bike right now hates me. I can't even ride it. I need something else.
