I love trails, but here in San Mateo County, CA they're all pretty upsey-downsey....
My QB is all about the mostly flat commute and 90 minute, rolling (but not extended upsey-downsey) rides on the weekend through Portola Valley and Woodside. Especially in inclement weather. This is what it looks like: http://picasaweb.google.com/Wheelsmith91/Quickbeam# He (She?) wears 37c Panaracer tires and Berthoud 50mm fenders, so flipping the hub is a PITA for me. I got a Romulus about 18 months later, but until then I would occasionally shift to a 32x18 for some long climbs (with some paperboy weave) and rode almost exclusively fixed on it until recently. Now it's 46x16 with a White 16/18 Dos. Still thinking about a Sunrace/SA 3sp fixed epicyclic hub and barcon shifter.... -br On Jan 27, 10:36 pm, CycloFiend <cyclofi...@earthlink.net> wrote: > on 1/27/09 3:30 PM, colin p. cummings at colinthehip...@gmail.com wrote: > > > As a survey of sorts, how many QB owners out there do much gear > > changing on a regular or semi-regular basis?
