Nope, did not like it. I did 10 miles fixie, so I think I got a true picture of it. I have finally made up my mind, for the riding I do, coasting is an integral part of it. Back to single speed.
Haha well I guess it's not for everyone. I can understand that. The majority of the riding I do is freewheeling, but sometimes I get in the mood for fixed. If it came down to choosing between one or the other I would go freewheel, but I like to switch it up occasionally.
That is the beauty of having a flip/flop hub. If I ever get the hankering, again, I can just flip my wheel around. I did put the riser bar back on and I'm gonna try that, again. I cut it down to match the flat bar I have, so we shall see.
