Four shots over fourteen days and the doctor said I’d be fine. There’s a whole hell of a lot doctors don’t know. One night a few year ago I’m riding one of my favorite trails and a deer comes crashing out of the brush and slams into my front wheel. Right as we both go down a big gray dog jumps on the deer and tears its throat open. Because I’m an idiot, I try to smack the dog away and it takes a nip at me.
Steve’s gift cog came in the mail and I mounted it to the wheel using loctite. I’m not one of those hipster kid fixie riders who run no brakes and skid stop so the loctite should be sufficient. kent electric bike I have both front and rear brakes with really good brake pads and I use them PLUS my legs to slow down and stop. The two pictures above show my first cut at customisation.

Know of a new mountain bike trail not listed here?

The mirror, the bell, the light, the yellow cable housing, the bar tape and the Jandd frame bag were all things I had in my bike shed. I really wanted to make the bike into a fixed gear, but it turned out the one thing I didn’t have in my parts stash was a fixed cog. But when I posted about my initial conversion on my blog, my pal Steve in Minneapolis dug through his parts stash, found a 16 tooth Surly fixed cog and dropped it in the mail to me.
Please refer to our return policy below. I reached the point where I had to spend some more money on this project so I rode my Allant over the bridge to Duluth. Now I should be clear, I didn’t strictly need this bike. I’m retired, I have three perfectly good bikes and to be honest, one would really do just fine for the riding I’m doing these days.
