Been thinking of riding fixed since way back, finally scraped some money together to build my first fixed gear bike. Was riding MTB before, but was mainly commuting and rarely hit trails, and so here we are. So far, it is a fun ride and a nice change of pace from what I am used to. Please excuse my stupidly long brake cable…

Welcome! Looks like a fun ride. Do you like your ratio? What are you running?
You can get in 1-3 bar spins no problem with a cable like that

Nice setup! It’s funny, I’ve been riding fixed for years, but recently got into MTB, and holy hell is that a whole different ballgame. My body was not prepared. I love it, but when I ride off road, that’s basically the one main thing I do in a weekend, and then I lay flat for the rest of the weekend. To me, riding fixed is just like a zen thing, making me enjoy whatever trip I happen to be taking with the bike. You look like you got a nice ride to get into a zen flow.
She’s a beaut. Nice change of color from the usual flat black on this sub. Enjoy.
