Dear Singletrackworld forum agony aunts,
I think I have lost my brother forever. He told me on the phone last night that he was going to buy a Fixie.
Rather than slam the phone down on him I tried to hang on in there to point out his errors but I think he's fixed (sorry :roll:) on the idea as he likes the look of them.
I tried to point him in the singlespeed or internal rear hub direction but he has heard of a hub that can switch between free and fixed (is this a sign of hope?) in case he hated it in fixie mode. Apparently he wants one to shoot down to the shops on?
Any advice on how I can get my brother back would be much appreciated.
