Why Ride a Fixed Gear Bike?
I love the quote from Henri Desgrange in 1902, "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"
A fixed gear bike is based on a track bike, it has no gears so it's a single speed, the bike doesn't coast, so if the back wheel spins the pedals spin and many don't have hand brakes. [Fixed Gear]
Many people think riding a fixed without brakes is crazy, but you can stop it by locking up the rear tire, although it isn't the greatest way to stop, it does work. I should know, when I used to bike messenger I had a single speed coaster brake with no front brake. Skidding to a stop is not a fast way to stop. There were a number of times when I slid into the back of cars because I couldn't stop fast enough.
I enjoy riding my fixie because it's very quiet, the bike is solid feeling because the chain isn't bouncing around on the derailleur, and you have a nicer feel for the road. It's just a simpler way to ride.
The fixed gear is great for exercise since you can't coast and when you go up hills you really have to work. Riding a fixed gear bike is a nice way to work on your pedaling technique. When you go downhill you will be spinning very fast and if you don't have a good technique you'll be bouncing all over the place. [Fixed Gear]

PRODUCT TEST: FOX 32 FLOAT R
Stage Shock bicycle manufacturer is the several manufacturers have produced is one that comes into this market after another. But stock outstanding. The third is the Fox Racing Shox Fox Company, starting from the Shock to a motorbike before. Then Shock to produce cars and ATV. Recent product introductions and Shock bicycles in 2000, and came to the present. Fox Shock bike features the company's long experience. And quality of products by using high-quality manufacturing base from the factory. Current production in the United States Fox Shock pages for all the Mountain Bike Cross Country Free Ride Down Hill.
Fox 32 Float R tested Shock is the initial release of the Fox Air Sping a system that uses a set of bellows, hardness of weak Shock. The function of setting can be adjusted simply re bound only that there was enough. Because rebound probability function, a pre-requisite Shock all should be.
Shock Shock this axis which is 32 mm size with Shock Front Cross Country Trail and the treatment axis Shock Hard Anodize Shock to the surface of the core has a hardness higher. Robust support for friction between the sleeve axis Shock cushioning within the cylinder Shock. To last for long.
Fox 32 Float R Shock This is designed to collapse during a three-level adjustment is 100 mm 120 mm and 140 mm by removing the parts came out fine. The adjustment was not difficult for anything in this test. We adjusted the collapse of the Shock to the collapse of 100-mm test.
Shock of the models are just functions. Ri is bound alone is sufficient to use the basic and the fine that can be done in this Shock Air Preload is set by the bellows with the pressure in a different value. The Function Block Shock Shock that even this will not be able to replace it by setting the stage for a little Shock Sag will have more standing will not collapse easily.
Test results.
In this test, set up to suit body weight Preload ride to work effectively Shock in this test, we use the term, about 8 mm from the Sag is adjusted by adjusting the re bound to positions (. -) end and then twist key rebound in the gaming (+) 5 Click the chloride path-country, it has to try to jump a little test. The Fox Float R test results of the tests satisfactorily Shock strength at a narrow turn at high speed to control the car better to the sharp turn. Showed no break from the curve of the Shock of shocks from the sub-collection path Shock can do it in a satisfactory level, which is depending on the satisfaction of each of the standing to Shock Sag-term, it must set low (less than 10 mm), which may result in sub-Shock shock was not full. Shock does not collapse, but the fluctuating But if there is a lot of Sag set term (more than 10 mm) will provide sub-Shock shock than it may cause collapse Shock waving This is some of each depending on preference, which can set the Shock. Sag term by adding wind.
Fox 32 Float R, although the Shock model at the start of FOX, but it was Shock that is meant to generation even if no function lock Shock, but enough for use in conjunction with a Shock Air Spring. Preload can be set up to easily fill the air, which make them easy to adjust the Shock to the body weight ride. One advantage of the Shock this model is that the function Ri is bound only to Shock tolerance more than the Shock a function a lot addition, the Shock can also adjust the setting. the collapse phase has enabled many more diverse.
