Nice way to convert that freehub to a singlespeed on your trek. But aren't those frame a little big for you? Tuesdays Ride Night (Weather Permitting)

Man those guys on the Bikeforum is giving you mad crap about your front brake...shoot, I only run a front brake when ever I run a single speed. Screw those guys

no man im 6' and it fits fine...i just prefer a low seat post bud...its my bike, and set it at whatever "improper seat height" i wish...just comfort preference. still adjusting as i get used to it. new bike.
and yes, ima try and make it out for the tuesday ride!

Welcome to the forums man.

Just wondering though, Whats comfortable about having your seat post slammed. You knees are under-extended and it wastes a lot of power. is it some sort of BMX style?

See you Tuesday man.

its not THAT low...trek was right after i got my new richey seat post and the bike back from the shop...it was just popped on and then out front for pics...
as for the pista, i dont know...i like em a little low? the bikes fresh, so im still feeln it out...the post has already started to come up slowly as i ride more and adjust. i just find my saddles lower then most my height...just my weird ways

With education, comes clarity.

[remembertofocus]

i agree. im all for it

[jeffree]

i know i used to like my seat low, but i raised it more to get the extension for my knees. it definitely felt weird at first buw now i'm used to it, feels much better.

[remembertofocus]

yeh, im workn on it...

[Citify]

Thats the spirit!

maybe he's built like me, i mean i'm 6ft but i have a shorter 32.5" inseam so i ride smaller 55/56cm bikes,
but i also have some 57/58cm bikes and the seat is a little lower on them, anyways, whatever makes you
more comfortable do it, but over time, you'll want to either find a better fitting bike or like everyone said
here, raise the seat a little higher to improve your leg-extension to maximize your pedal strokes/power.

whatever the case, come out and ride with us and have fun on bikes, ok?

yeah fuck that bullshit shit talking about front brakes, they need to shut up or i'll "brake" their face off!!!!



oh btw, welcome Adam! See you tuesday!
