Thought I'd broken my trek

chaley

Hello All,
I took the trek to work yesterday because we were off to the pub after for the Christmas meal and I didn't fancy leaving the langster out side all night. Anyway god it's weird riding a freewheel again, I've only been on a fixed for just over a month, but I think there's no going back now. I took me over a mile to get the hang of it again, and riding back after was a laugh, I was sure that I had killed the poor thing, she was slow, made funny noises and you have to use your brakes to stop, what is that all about? Still I made it home ok in the end.

I find as the foot reaches the top of the arc that's where it feels most different

I was trying to tell someone about the difference in pedalling on a fixed as opposed to a freewheel, it's actually hard to explain, but definitely noticeable.

I think it's something to do with the additional push your feet get from the pedals...

Or I could be babbling incoherently.

Thank Elvis for that I thought it was just me! The Trek is getting a new set of knobbly tyres for Christmas and will be stay in the mud from now on.

I initially read this as "I thought I'd broken my neck" :oops:

Glad to hear its just a bike related problem.

There's enough injury woes on here with LiT's ankle and Greg66's back :shock:

Be careful out there......
