All I wanted to do was wind up the 'ss is stupid' brigade and I've gone and tried to bloody justify it, when it doesn't need justifying, arse.
Grumm, a better metaphor would be two pairs of shoes - one are uncomfortable, but very efficient and easy to look after. The others are more comfortable but worse at going uphill and 5lbs heavier. 😉
I'm going to Manchester Velodrome next week. Should I take my full suspension bike or go the the full hog and take my rigid ss fixed wheel track bike with no brakes.
Serious suggestions only, please! 8)
Ooerr! coleman, I don't think you're taking this seriously! 😯
Well, just got back. It was a blast.
I'm not going to get into a rigid SS/FS comparison as that is an empty and hollow debate. But it was a lot of fun, and almost all of CyB was rideable on that bike, albeit a bit slower and a bit more sketchy than on an FS. And you need lots of malt loaf.
Woudl they let you on the velodrome track on a full suspension bike? Would be funny if you got dressed up in body armour and full-face helmet etc too - I'd love to see the look on people's faces.
Back under your bridge Grumm, there's a good chap. 🙂
