Retro BMX Fixie Rippers

[hunterdubber]

Well I've not seen these before ,so I take it it's one of Mr Alan Woods' own twist on the fixie scene

Good idea  too  

but I've not rode a fixie so

I'm sorry but I don't get this fixie business...whatever the colour scheme it looks like a shitty old bike my Granddad would have ridden, hence a resounding thanks, but no thanks.

Not really got a problem with fixies or people who are into them, but the PK Ripper name shouldn't be anywhere near a fixie.

They look nice but I think a fixed gear belongs on a velodrome and nowhere else as they struggle with big climbs or descents so all they're good for is posing IMO.  You could use a freewheel but that would defeat the point and then there's the issue of it not having brakes.   I hope the tyres are good as a fixie skids when you do need to stop and a naff tyre doesn't last 2 minutes.

[oldtired]

once rode a fixie it went like this ,,,, "well it's not to bad this " (at that point i stopped pedaling like you do to coast along on a freewheel )      SKID   THUMP(head hits the stem)    CRASH                    defo something wrong with fixed wheels

  Be even better with rod brakes and solid tyres....
