We ride arround the city today. Although it's rainy early in the morning, but the sun shine bright after all. Its about 150 fixed gear crowded the street in Jogja. There're colourful bikes. I have my orange one..

Its started from Sudirman st, to Tugu Jogja, continued to Malioboro, and turn left at the cross to Yos Sudarso st, have lunch at Galeria and dismised..

We are all fixed gear..

 

When trying to build a bike to look like a fixie, I have come to the stage of installing the wheels measuring 27 and replace the transmission system into a single rate. My bike is initially normal mountain bike that uses a multi-speed transmission. And it turns out the chain can not be used for the single speed transmission. I thought I had bought the wrong sprocket.

Apparently there is a fundamental difference between the chain used on single speed with multi-speed chain. Chain single speed has a width of 1 / 8 "and multi-speed chain has a width of 3 / 32", this size difference, of course, led to my multi-speed chain  can not get attached to my new single speed.

Above, single speed chain. Figure below, multi-speed chain.

This is day one, National Kite Challenge 2010. This annual event held by Culture & Tourism Board of Jogjakarta. There're many kind of kites. Some of them are in 3D shape, while others are 2D or traditional..

What is Sarsaparilla? Sarsaparilla (Smilax regelii and other closely related species of Smilax) is a perennial trailing vine with prickly stems; it is native to tropical America and the West Indies. Its name (which is zarzaparrilla in Spanish) comes from the Spanish words zarza for "shrub" and parrilla for "little grape vine."

Originally derived from the dried roots of tropical smilax vines, this flavor is usually associated with a carbonated drink popular in the mid-1800s. The primary uses of sarsaparilla include the flavoring of beverages, and folk medicine.
