Sweet! Thanks! Just curious, but do you think if you popped one of the reflectors out, a toe clip would fit there? I think the fixie needs some sort of retention.

I think I have an extra pair of RMX sneaker pedals you can borrow if you wanna try them out. I like them.

Comment on Sometimes I’m Dr. Jekyll… by the sloth

The rings are original to the cranks. The ancient 105 FD won’t shift the chain onto the 28, so it’s a 44/48 up front. I have a regular road crank on the way, so the “bio” part is not long for this world.

The rest of the bike, if you’re bored stiff. Wald North Road bars, a VO stem, Shimano Alivio brake levers, RX100 (shifters, RD, calipers), 600 hubs laced to Performance rims, SRAM 12-26, KMC chain, CST Compressor 25mm tires, Ritchey grips, a generic seat post, and a WTB “Test Ride” saddle. The whole thing was intended to be a bit of a gag, but it’s surprisingly comfy. I may just keep it the way it is.

Plastic-pedaled Pacer path racer! Perfection!

(Please tell me you used those chainrings just for the “Bio-Pacer” gag. Because I know I would have.)

I am perfectly happy with the built-in squish of the 4″ tires on my Mukluk. But, then again, I am perfectly happy with the built-in squish of any tires, on bicycles, and no longer ride with the extra weight of suspension components. That’s one of the advantages of being a slow mountain biker: You can ride a simpler, lighter bike.

Comment on A few notes about my S24O kit by Tim

Re-reading divining info for the next S24O after our outing this past Saturday. The sleeping pad perspective couldn’t be more dead-on in every way. I used a cheapie foam pad on the bottom and then a Thermarest Z-lite. Not enough. I’ll take the extra weight for something I can manage. Interminable rolls from 3.00am on are no good.

Maybe Grant has an issue, but Kent would be proud of you. I’d walk a mile for a Neato Burrito!
