Fixed Wheel 600
The Solo Socialist:
A question, is it any harder to ride a 600 on fixed (WCW) June next year. I'm fairly confident I can ride a 300 so is a 600 twice as hard?
I'm planning on rideing an SR next year as part of making my 70th year more memorable?
simonp:
It's harder. I've completed K&SW 600 on gears but failed twice on fixed. Not done the WCW but have done BCM600 on fixed. It's obviously slower than on a geared bike, though I've managed close to my best geared time on fixed.
IME you need fixed miles in your legs to ride fixed long distance. If you don't, you'll struggle.

IME, no, provided you can get some sleep part way round. Only based on a sample set of 2 mind you.

I have been significantly faster at all distances since swapping from gears to fixed.

Though, in your case, there may be other factors at play.
