One of my favorite fixed-gear bikes is my 1916 Mead Ranger. This was originally built as a coaster-brake bike with 28-inch single-tube tires on wood rims. It was wheelless when I bought it at a flea market, so I set it up with some nice quality '70s vintage 630 mm (27") wheels and modern tires. It's surprisingly pleasant to ride. | One of my favorite fixed-gear bikes is my 1916 Mead Ranger. This was originally built as a coaster-brake bike with 28-inch single-tube tires on wood rims.

Das Ultimum für den Schwerlasttransport in städtischer Umgebung sind Fixed Gear [[Mountainbike]]s. Wenn man abenteuerlustig genug ist, fährt man damit auch ins Gelände. Mountainbikes haben normalerweise genügend Bodenfreiheit, jedoch werden sie inzwischen alle mit vertikalen Ausfallenden ausgeliefert. | |||

cb3 I have an old Bridgestone CB-3 set up for nasty winter conditions, with a 28/15. This gives a nice low gear, a 3.63 gain ratio (49" / 3.88 m) which will take me as fast as I care to go when the streets are snowy. A fixed gear this low makes the brake almost unnecessary: such a low gear lets me slow the bike down quickly by resisting, especially considering that it can't go very fast. | cb3 I have an old Bridgestone CB-3 set up for nasty winter conditions, with a 28/15.
