  • How difficult is skidding, or more importantly, how difficult is it to learn skidding, on a fixed gear bike?
    Felix and Hampus are both relatively new to riding fixed gear, and it's time for them to practice skidding. Let's see how it goes!

      hopefully you can get it sorted out. maybe you can adjust the straps, or try to position your feet differently when doing the skids :) it's cool that are you skidding! thanks for the comment!

    those straps look like they'd snap after a few weeks of heavy pulling

      No snaps as of yet, but maybe we have weak legs :) Thanks for the comment!

    im riding 50/14 at the moment so i cant really skid since the gear ratio is to big for me

    • @addvurtbikes
      @addvurtbikes  Před měsícem

      that's a very high ratio! sounds very hard to skid, yes. but very high top speed!

      48/15 is 3.2, really high. You must live in a pan flat area. I got three bikes with three different gearings. 48/17. 48/20. 46/18. I live in a moderately hilly location.

      ​@@johnhatfield1070 yeah it's pretty flat over here. There are short hills I can choose to ride, but I can go fully flat all day if I want to :)
