What does "w...Dear Bikesnobnyc from Dubrovnyc.<br />What does "wallahism" means? Is it related to the word "valach" which is an ancient name they used to call Romanians like me? (It comes from the same indo-european root which gave "Wales" and means something like "foreigner").<br />Secondly, it is with the utmost respect that I dare to have the insolence to ask you: why are you putting down fixed-gear bikes so much? Sheldon Brown loved them and recommended them. If the fixie fad wanned, it is because people are too attached to their comfort, and prefer the artifice of gear shifting to using their muscles and will power to climb a mountain. But if wanted to climb a mountain the easy way, I would lease a Hyunday, to quote yourself. <br />Fixed gear are not that bad. They used them a lot in the first 35 tours de France, and it is my belief that introducing the derailleur in the said Tour de France was just the beginning of the savage quest for efficiency that ultimately led everyone in this sport do dope them selves, and ruin it for us all. <br />That being said, I'm not at all against gear-shifting. It is a good thing, especially for the elderly and the disabled, but not only for them, for everyone who wants to enjoy a ride without having to sweat or contract their muscles. It is a brilliant invention, actually. Some of my best friends AND my wife ride geared bikes. I, for one, ride a fixed gear, and love it. Why can't we all get along?<br />Respectfully and with a deep reverence,<br />Vlad from BucharestVladnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-58029800745712746682014-04-17T00:29:52.560-04:002014-04-17T00:29:52.560-04:00Finally clicked on that we were never born vid.

Your LBS can perform this simple inspection for only $10 per skewer.<br /><br />I'm surprised bike component manufacturers haven't adopted the Bell Helicopter philosophy, EVERYTHING is life limited. Replace after N-million cycles. No questions asked. Your front skewer goes thru more cycles than the rear, especially if you drive your car everytime you go for a ride. Freds around here drive 30 miles roundtrip to go on a flat 10 mile boring bike ride on a trail. Just think how much safer that QR skewer would be, if you didn't put the bike on a roof rack everytime you go for a ride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-16114478575296770132014-04-16T22:17:27.291-04:002014-04-16T22:17:27.291-04:00Terpstra stole my Kemmelberg KOM during 3 days of ...Terpstra stole my Kemmelberg KOM during 3 days of Depanne two weeks ago.

The rear skewer slipped, the rear wheel shifted & wedged against the seat stays.
