More about the Potential of Hydrogen (pH) bike
1. A (“fixie”) has a fixed cog so the pedals always turn when the wheel does (and vice versa). They’re supremely lightweight, simple to use (all ‘non-essential parts are stripped away) and low-maintenance (no complicated components).
2. Fixies are often self-built. But the bike-owner bond goes beyond that, says Sable & Argent’s Boris Tosic. “With fixies you feel every nuance of speed, balance, acceleration and deceleration, giving you and the bike that mystical connection.”
3. The new Potential of Hydrogen (“pH”) fixie pitches itself as the perfect synergy between cycle and cyclist. Acidity and alkalinity are expressed in pH values so pH bikes embody human energy (“Potential”) and natural ideas (“Hydrogen”) and come in 14 colours from Battery Acid red (pH 0) to Caustic Soda purple (pH14).
