Fixed.and going clipless

I gotta say...it is really really fun if you ride a fixed gear and with clipless you rock^_^

Anyway, a decent coaster brake bike is my favor too, they all are fun bikes, so i made RIesama's bike with coaster brake, and then convert my red bike to a fixed gear, bought cheapo track hub set(formula, loose ball), make my old knock off deep V rim bling bling using sand papers, then build them together, bought a cheapo fixed cog, put a lot of grease on both hub and cog, put the cog on, then found out that my chain whip is for narrow chain...ok, using rotafixa to get my cheapo cog tight, tighten the lock ring, put the drive train on, you know, i should say, i am a lucky guy, chain line is ok, it is important to get a straight chain line on your fixed gear.DONE. went out, made a try, without any back pedaling, just mash and mash, back and retighten lockring, and mash again and retighten a lock ring, and don't over tighten it. hope threads on my cheapo hub will be ok.

I have an old but still very very smooth MKS Sylvan pedal with clip and straps, , i really love them, really good build quality, so smoooooooth. but, but i d like to get spin, yeah, spin, fixed gear is a good tool to upgrade your spin skill, i like spin. and, for better spin, clipless set rules... alright, let's try to find out a good and cheapo clipless set for my fixed gear.

After researching, i decided to go with shimano spds, not spd-sl, cause road clipless pedal is a little bit hard to get into, shimano spds for MTB will fit me better. model 520. cheapo cheapo^_^

This time i decided to get my first clipless set from the LBS(local bicycle shop), not from internet, cause i have no idea about my shoes size, went to that shop- M2, i like that shop, price is ok, and today i was lucky, they have a pair of specialized spd shoe on sale, about 9000yen, wow, put my foot into it, great, my size, pay money, get my shoes and pedals, talked a little with owner of shop, a good guy^_^, put my first clipless set into my bag, go home.

Grease all bolt and put cleats on shoes, readjust the pedals, well, let's make a try, after about 10 seconds, i am in love with clipless, for me it is easy to get used to, maybe just because i alway made my straps tight when rode with my MKS. really feel good with clipless, yeah, SPD rocks. I feel my spin is getting better and better and ride faster, let's say it again, CHEAPO SPD ROCKS^_^

PICs tomorrow
