Hi, just wondering what option/s I have for making it possible to bar spin. Yes, I realise it is an unforgivable offense to subject my fixie to such brutal treatment, however bar spins are fun and my wheel clips on my frame. So are there any head tube extenders or similar things going around or is buying a new wheel/forks my only option.
If its a one-and-one-eighth fork, you can get a crown race with an extra 3 or 5mm to fix the ‘29er/Reba’ problem… which should give you a lil extra clearance.
Shipping will cost somewhere between 40-60 dollars. The Gangsta forks are $175 alone and lead time is about 5 weeks. Any other colour other than black is an extra $100.
I enquired about them in April, so prices and lead time may have changed since then.
Also, they’re higher than normal forks so they’ll slacken your headangle if that matters.
There’s an aussie importer, he’ll charge you about $285 for them plus delivery if you’d prefer to go that way, you can get in touch with him at bluemountainbikes@yahoo.com.au
I really don’t understand why these fixed-gear-freestylers don’t just work it out, do it properly and kunstradfahren:
Then do some real tricks on a bike designed specifically to do mad-mad tricks. Oh that’s right - because it’s not about the riding, the tricks, the skills or even the fun of it.
