i have yet to see anyone hipster on dual discs, but i spose that's happened, right?

I hope anyone stupid enough to ride dual discs on their hipster fixie has been blown into a river. It's all they deserve.

saw a dude turn up at the end of an 'escape from the suburbs' alleycat on NOBR AKES lo-pro pursuit bike with bullhorns and rear disc. he placed well and it was a hilly route from what i recall too!

they're just silly on a fixie, right, not like actively dangerous. plus what about BIKE POLO.
― eris bueller (lukas), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 16:01 (ten years ago) link
bike polo doesn't count, everyone's got homemade discs (and disc brakes) on their polo bike (around here at least)
i would think they'd be actively dangerous on ANY bike if you've got one in front

It's not the fixie thing its more the massive sail you add to your bike. One side gust and you're in the canal.
I haven't seen a front disc in pro road TT in a while and rear discs are getting rarer now they have super deep section rims.
If we're going to talk dual disc LOLz we have to post this picture

a disc rear on a fixie is unlikely to cause a problem unless it's really really windy or really gusty. a disc rear is good in gentle to moderate wind or breeze conditions, particularly at yaw. i can't make any argument for a front disc. all discs work best with yaw- the benefit of a disc in dead calm is like, reaaally tiny as far as i've heard. but to have yaw, you need some wind. and if you have wind on a front disc, it's gonna be dangerous according to the one person i know who's raced a front disc.
but why any disc on a hipster fixie? also, daer hipsters, i can sell you an awesome old rear disc, convertible to 120mm, with alloy brake track. i'll throw in the vittoria evo cx tubular on it. if you've not skidded a $100 tubular, you've not skidded. have someone film it for you!

also one of the best road tt guys on my team in the 90s always rode fixed with a rear disc for non-hilly tts.

i mean, i like him but it is pretty hilarious that he went to all that effort (both in training and on youtube) and keegan swenson just...tweeted it out
― gbx, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 22:18 (three years ago) link
ha exactly. swenson is such a monster--i'm trying to remember what event it was last year, i think he was the guy who had like multiple catastrophic mechanicals at like leadville or kanzaa but came back and like, podiumed with mooooonster power numbers. hope i'm not mistaking the story. And doing what he did at 6k to 7500ft is not to be overlooked _at all_. in pure wattage that is likely to be an 8-10% drop off what he could theoretically deliver at sea level where gaimon did it. i doubt, as a layman nerd, that he recovered anything close to that on a hairpin descent or low speed climb via wind friction, though there is obv some benefit there. it makes me think he'd just lap gaimon hth. and i sorta don't ~want~ to like gaimon in a way, but to the limited exposure i got, i really like gaimon, his long-ass video on this was wonderful and funny.
