haha, you'll never live this one down!

fyi, i'm a seasoned rider, i work at a coffeeshop too, i drink redbull like water, and for the life of me,
even with 50x17 gearing, and chasing after Stanford hotties, i cannot pull off 32mph on my track bike,
well, maybe when i am high on meth and trying to evade the police cuz i have a no-bail warrant for
my arrest for killing someone who exaggerated on a bike forum!

"The proof is in the pudding"

32mph from a cold start and a sprained wrist? show us how it's done!

I hit 35 or 36 once after a race while chasing my friends car. and the gearing was more like 50x15

also, with that gearing your rpm's would be just over 150 for 32 mph.

I hit 50.2mph going downhill on Highway 9 when I did road cycling.. although I know thats nothing compared to what TT riders can do..
I have hit 27-28mph w/ 46/17 on my fixie =)

I said I smell B.S. because with 48x18 you would spin out around 25ish so 32mph is to far fetched. I know balletdude hit 35mph because I was in that car and a 50x15 can do that. It's called physics...Now with a sprained wrist? You wouldn't be able pull into your pedals so it would be all leg...So I don't care what you "straighten out" you still full of shit. Like everyone said or at least thought to themselfs, come out to the track and try and hold a sprint line for 4 laps! Let me know when your coming out to ride, I will be there to see what your made of budddy...

hopefully next week i'll be able to make it..i had to write a paper last night.

but i geared down from the 18 'cause it was a cheap cog and started to bend and didn't have enough skid spots so i'm runnin' 48x15 now
