After email Grant and talking with Mark and Kevin at Rivendell today I've decided on a more conservative approach to fixed gear:
-- Get used to the bike and its pedal clearance with SS. -- Try fixed after a while, once I know pedal clearance will work where I'm riding. Basic message from both of them is: The QB is designed as a SS bike, not a fixed. If it was designed as a fixed, especially for rougher terrain, it would have bigger tires and higher BB to prevent pedal crashes in turns and on rocks/roots, etc. While I'm curious to test how fixed and vertigo get along, I want to do so as safely as possible. This seems the prudent way to accomplish this. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
