Chris Akrigg: Unfixed 16

A little while ago Chris thought it would be a good idea to put a freewheel on his fixie. No brakes! This bike is not intended for this use....

I think the purpose of the 'wrong tool for the job' trend is to show people who think they need $4000 bikes to have fun that, well, they don't.

Can I add a 'Like' to FCTRY's comment, or is that crap reserved for people who like Facebook? I too say eff it to the wrong tool for the job. On a positive note, at least it wasn't a sunset session, slo-mo jump or some idiot asking which flat pedal is the lightest.

The "watch me use the wrong tool for the job" trend needs to die. Who gives a shit?

@bturman: I've seen Akrigg's earlier vids, and dig 'em for sure. He's a far more talented rider that me, and I'd love to buy the guy a beer someday and pick his brain. But no one's exempt from flack for showing up on a mountain bike web site doing carnival tricks on a brakeless road scoot!

@syngltrkmnd - Akrigg is far from hipster. Here is his usual craziness: http://vimeo.com/11804172

XC on a brakeless unfixed looks fun
