SINGLE SPEED STREET BIKE : BALANCE BUDDY BIKE : BICYCLE BEARING PULLER
Single Speed Street Bike
- A single-speed bicycle is a type of bicycle with a single gear ratio. These bicycles are without derailleur gears, hub gearing or other methods for varying the gear ratio of the bicycle.
- not to be confused with fixed gear, is form of XC mountain biking that is done using a single-speed bicycle that has only one gear (approx. 2:1 ratio) and generally fewer components. The idea is simplicity. The straight chain line provides efficient pedaling.
- While any bike that doesn't have multiple gears or speeds is technically called a "single-speed" bicycle, this term generally refers to a bike with a one-speed freewheel and coaster brakes.
- A motorcycle which is permitted to be ridden on public roads and must be licensed. In contrast with an off-road bike.
My Fondriest single speed track bike
Garish late 70s Team Raleigh colourway! Geared up for street use so single speed rather than fixed wheel until I get more confident, mudguards as I hate cold water enemas, cross top brakes...and away we go. Brighton = hills = knees of chalk if not careful!
Ron Cooper - single speed
This is my single speed build around a hand made Ron Cooper steel frame. It has a real mix of parts. I brought it off ebay and have slowy been changing parts. New this weekend is the white velocity rear wheel.
