My job is a series of efforts to prevent major problems, getting stymied by leadership, then blamed for the problems I tried to prevent and asked to solve them without sufficient resources.
Like a one man human centipede.
I accidentally a larger batch of tom kha than I intended. This is not a problem.
Good job, Gai.

Hi.
today was bussy
Flip flop rear hub, with free wheel one side and a cog the other is common. But the cranks are normally on the right

Middle Eastern Taco
More like burrito
If projected on a cuboid, a taco will have a starch covering 3 faces whilst a burrito covers all 6. Sorry, that is a taco, the math doesn't lie.
Hot dog with salad
On such bikes you can flip the crank as the fixed cog is on the left side. I have seen this with urban hipsters here in DK too many times. Mandatory skinny jeans, too much metal in their faces, shitty tattoos and either metal band T-shirt or formal shirt too.Flip flop rear hub, with free wheel one side and a cog the other is common.

We call that a kebab in NZ/England. Traditionally eaten after much booze, and guaranteed to give you indigestion in that circumstance.
You are boozed?
All the flip flop hubs I've ever encountered were threaded for right side drive, not left. Running the track cog (or the freewheel) as LSD would eventually unthread it.
I beg to differ, if it's wrapped is a burrito if not, is a taco. I live where the burrito was created, trust me, I know.
what he's getting at is that with a burrito, the contents are fully enclose until you start eating it. that is not the case with a gyro.
We are saying the same thing, I am just using an explicit geometric definition to remove subjectivity out of the situation. One could also set limits on a bi-axial curvature. A burrito has 360 degrees of curvature in on axis and at least 270 in the other, a taco should be zero in one and >180 but <360 in another.
Freewheel you cannot run on the left side, but the fixed cog you can if it has a lock ring, or? No sure how they solved it, I just saw them riding around. Maybe ghetto fixed with cable ties?
When I saw it I thought the pedals unthreading would be the issue. But apparently you can use tandem cranks to solve that.
the lock ring would only delay things, but the torque cycling would still eventually loosen it (unless you put some serious ugga duggas on it with an impact wrench, or JB welded it on). the entire idea behind a flip flop rear hub is that you just remove the rear wheel, flip it around, and re-install it. again - this is based on my own experience with flip flop wheels (i think i still have mine somewhere), but I haven't fucked around with track bikes in over 15 years. that's not to say some hipstshit wouldn't do it, or that LSD fixies have been created in the intervening years since i've ridden one, but again - this is based on my experience.Freewheel you cannot run on the left side, but the fixed cog you can if it has a lock ring, or?

lefthand drive BMX bikes must have reverse threaded hub shells and reverse threaded freewheels. a whole mini ecology of opposite chirality

almost no bmx'ers running LSD are using a freewheel. they're almost all cassette. also, those are too big for microdrives.lefthand drive BMX bikes must have reverse threaded hub shells and reverse threaded freewheels. a whole mini ecology of opposite chirality

Still fighting lingering illness. Still hacking out yellow and green phlegm.
Tell me more about that left side drivetrain
Flip flop rear hub, with free wheel one side and a cog the other is common. But the cranks are normally on the right
lol, pretty sure that "picture" is probably just a bad rendering... it has a "normal" right-hand drivetrain.
TIL left hand drivetrains are a thing. weird. why?!Freewheel you cannot run on the left side, but the fixed cog you can if it has a lock ring, or? No sure how they solved it, I just saw them riding around. Maybe ghetto fixed with cable ties?

They originated in bmx to allow riders with pegs on the right side to do grinds without damage to the drivetrain
One word: hipsters.
And apparently aerodynamic advantages:
Leftside-drive bike could give Team USA winning edge
The U.S. Olympic team and Felt unveil a radical new pursuit bike with left-side drive and aerodynamic features to address yaw.
