anyone ride fixed gear?

Wouldn't be without my fixed gear for around the city. I have two at the moment, one sits around, and one gets hammered. 2 years heavy use so far with next to no maintenance

LFGSS?

Briefly, not really into that side of it so much though.

Not the ideal platform for a standard trainer.

They could also be similar to this:



Which again have similar problems.

If you're not that bothered about wasting half a rotation then just sell those and get a set of something like this:
