What is FGFS bike?

sometimes we miss the boat altogether, as is the case (we recently discovered) with this activity, called fixed-gear freestyle, or just FGFS. Basically, FGFS means doing tricks on a fixed-gear bike, often a pared-down, BMX-like model but with 26-inch wheels and no brakes.

Why are road bike tires so skinny?

The road tires are inflated to 100 or even 120 PSI (pounds per square inch). A firm thin tire on the asphalt surface won’t flatten much. The less the tire flattens out on the bottom, the less surface area is in contact with the road. Less contact in this case means less friction, and more speed.

What is a Tracklocross bike?

Simply put, tracklocross is where you take a track bike and fit the widest tires you can in. You then ride your new beast on wildly inappropriate terrain and end up with the biggest smile on your face possible.

Do thinner bike tires go faster?

The footprint is shorter and fatter compared to the narrower tyres’ longer and narrower footprint. This means that the narrower tyre produces more friction and thus more energy, meaning less effiency in terms of rolling speed. The narrower tyre deforms more, negatively affecting speed.

Do bigger bike wheels go faster?

Push bikes with larger wheels can go faster than the ones with smaller wheels because the radius of the wheel is larger they are also more stable at higher speeds.

Are thicker bike tires better?

It turns out wider tyres are actually faster along with the benefits of increased comfort and traction. In the very early days of road cycling, tyres were wide because the roads were poorly surfaced, and in many cases, not even surfaced at all.
