Anyone out there do centuries and such on fixed? What gearing do you use to both climb and descend? Do I just learn to spin 150rpm for downhill? Any other tips.Continue

Clive Foden said… Thanks again Jim,
So good to have people like you out there who'll share their expertise and enthusiasm. Already, after a week of trying to reduce the bounce at speed, I feel a bit more confident in my abilities to get the century nailed! The one I think I'll do first is around the Suffolk coast in May. This gives me all winter to refine my technique. I'll let you know how things progress. Thanks again!

I ride down a couple of steep hills each day and I'm finding these "interesting"! My cadence is naturally fairly slow having very long legs, but I'm gradually increasing this without my legs bouncing too much!! I'm a go for it sort of person and amazed my family by doing my first century earlier this year, so I'll amaze them again by doing a fixie century next spring.
