I know it’s an old post from Slumworm, but I really need to find myself a spot with a tree like that for some nice tricks! Bring on Spring, so I can go into Sonsbeek to find a spot like in the pic…

It’s been around the blogs, but I found it on the Slumworm blog the first. It’s the Medium sized PFIX (Specialized’s fixed division) V2 complete build.

I’ve never made a secret of me not liking 26″ in FGFS, but I have to admit I like the looks of this bike… 
Most 26″ FGFS bike just look kinda wrong in my opinion, but this is one of the first 26″ complete builds I could see myself ride…

I know, it’s scary; me being 700c for life, saying I could ride a 26″ bike…

Although I’m not a big fan of FGFS with pegs, I really like this pic I found on Slumworm!

It’s not often that a company develops a product that completely revolutionizes the industry as well as the sport as we know it. For the past few months Specialized has been working on developing a hub that runs  a 9T Cog with 14mm axles, both of which are major game changes to Fixed Gear Freestyle.

Having 14mm axles over 3/8 gives you a setup that is virtually unbendable. Say goodbye to broken axles. These things are so strong that you don’t even need solid axles to run pegs. The hollow axle reduces weight, while maintaing strength and structural integrity.

The 9T cog lets you run that 25 tooth chainring you’ve always wanted, without making your bike a spinny mess. I’m currently running a 23T chainring with a 9T cog in rear, giving me well over 70 gear inches. The cog isn’t threaded on, and doesn’t use a lockring, instead it uses 6 mini bolts that connect the cog to the hub. The beautiful thing about running their bolt on system, is that if you take all the bolts out the cog  is free from the hub, turning it back into a freewheel.

Found on Slumworm.

Skitch and I aren’t the only ones who like to take their fixed bikes to the woods! Slumworm likes to get dirty too!
