Change some parts my fixed gear bike


Hi,

As I wrote this blog, I did buy new wheel for my Kissena bike.
Finally, I changed wheel from carbon wheel and gear ratio.






My new wheel is assembled with kinlin TB-25 rim and red color hub and DT 2.0mm 32 spokes.
This time tire my choise is TUFO S33 special tire.

So, I can adjust spoke and run out of carbon wheel.







I did buy FSA track chan ring for change gear ratio. Current ratio was 48x18(2.67), new is 50x16(3.13). New is 17% faster.

My first impression of checking riding.
Wheel stiffness is enough. TUFO tire is also good. I am not sure about gear ratio is much or not. I will test on tomorrow morning.

Bye,

Snowboarding


Hi,

Now I am in Norikura Onsen ski area for snowboarding with my company friend and Osaka company guys.

7:00 this morning, we arrived here. We saw lot of snow!! Weather was heavy snow and cold, but snow condition is very good!! It's fresh powder!!






For me, this time is first snowboarding this winter!! I am stoked!!
Ride ride ride and ride!!






I ride with Donek GS180 board. It's very strong grip and very good flex. I love it.

Today I did ride very carefully because could not see to detail of surface of snow due to heavy snow and wind.

After 2hour from start, we had "beer break". We had some beer and food. Yaaaaaaammmmmmyyy.






After that, snow was more heavy and decrease temperature!!
We enjoyed still powder riding!!!
We return to hotel on 15:00 (little bit early...cold)


After snowboarding,
Beer beer beer!! Drunk so much!! It's party time.









Now party is still continued.....
I hope tomorrow will be fine!!

Keep fun ride!!



Change setting of my fixed gear bike


Hi,

In my new year holiday, I changed setting of my fixed gear bike.
Saddle and Handle bar were changed.

Saddle: Concor lite to Fizik Alione
Handle: Carbon deep to FSA conpact shallow
Both parts are from my room(former roadbike parts)





Saddle;
Concor lite is better for not move siiting position and little bit hard. If I ride without racing pants, I feel pain on my hip!!
Alione is flat of top surface, I can move sitting position and little bit soft. I can ride with or without racing pants both. And one more advantage is Alione is more longer of saddle tale. This is good for up hill condition.

Handle bar:
Previous carbon handle drop dimension is very deep. It is good for sprint position but uncomfortable. FSA is small drop, it is good for constant high speed running. But little bit difficult to high power sprint....
Difficult to adjust for achieve both.

I will report again later.

Bye,

New wheel for fixed gear bike


Hi

Last week, my condition was so bad, but now I am recovered.

Today's topic is wheel of my fixed gear bike.
I use a carbon rim rear wheel that was assembled by my self. However, I have only one for fixed gear bike. I would like to adjust this wheel (spoke tension and run out)

So, I did buy aluminum rim tubular rear wheel.
Specifications are;
Rim: Kimlin TB-25...tubular rim 32H
Hub: forgot supplier name...very cheap Red color
Spoke: DT2.0mm straight Black
Assembled by shop staff.

Red color hub is match to my flame color!!






I got this on last weekend. But I just checked only. I will set up to my bike on next week. Because this weekend, I will go to trip for snowboarding!! I have no time.

And also I got a chain ring for fixed.
Currently I use 48T one. New one is 50T.
I can choose so many gear ratio with combination of chain rings and rear cogs.
50T ring is made by FSA, it is nice looking!!

I will report both after set up and running,

Bye.
