What? since when did FTW mean For The Win?
What does the FTW tattooed on my forehead mean now…?
*Note: I don’t have FTW tattooed on my body at all, but I know someone that has it tatoooed on his forearm.
It can also mean that. The internet is a strange place.
LOL WTF N00B ROFL>>!@@@1111one.

= Fixed The World
what are you talking about…fixed is the way
Couldnt disagree with you more.
you get the advantage of pedaling full circles with a freewheel, you get the advantage of doing wicked slalom shit way better, and you get to use one gear and toughen up. brakes stop you good. freewheeling at 50kph downhill feels more like control to me than trying to spin at that speed.
Riding fixed does feel good though. i do love doing it, but not for those “advantages”
riding down hills i guess is the one time where freewheel is useful.
i guess singlespeed is also good for avoiding pedal strike, if you’re got long cranks, or you’re doing lots of “wicked slalom shit”…
pedalling "full circles " just depends on having your feet properly clipped to the pedals, whether it’s fixed, singlespeed or geared.

The syd to melb ride would have been far more enjoyable FREEWHEELING all the descents.
Fixed has it’s advantages, but hype is not one.
It’s not all beer and fixed gears.
The ride might have been more enjoyable with gears too
. . . and 1000cc.

Oops! sorry, you’re right… that was a typo. pedalling technique IS a closed book once you have clipped into pedals.
