Why do people think they need to drop down into granny ring when there’s a slight incline in front of them?

It wouldn’t be so bad if they had their gears adjusted properly and didn’t drop/ jam the chain up and block the trail.

Man – you must be, like, so rad.

I think this has to be one of the worst rants I’ve ever read on this forum. 1/10.

(Eurovision style voice over)….Nil point

maybe they have weaker legs than you!!

Maybe we all do?

i love spinning away uphill, it looks after damaged knees from years of rugby.

Get a life!

Seems i’ve touched a few sensitive nerves.

If you’re that weak at least make sure your lightweight gear works.

Or have to decency to get off the trail.

Clue is in the username..
ss…

Singlespeed is indeed rad but be nice to people they’ll be nice back.

hug ssjeff?

Please turn your computer off and deal with your apparent lack of humility

you dont know how gears work do u? i bet u a shit rider!

I like spinning slowly up steep hills in granny.
Its not a race its meant to be fun.
I have no problem letting quicker climbers through though.
Perhaps thats the issue your complaining about?

Or have to decency to get off the trail.
Which ‘trail’ are you on about? Show me.

the trick is ride SS with a super low ratio, that way you can match the pace of the weak legged gearie mincers.

Can I just add if you have many gears but are pushing you radsicgnarcore orange 5/spesh enduro up the little hills at llandegla don’t stop for a chat with your mates blocking the whole trail, at least have the courtesy to move off a bit to let the sprightly single speeders mosh past. Thanky peeps

EDIT: I was expecting something far more X-rated with a title of “granny ring riders”

im fast and i use my granny ring, bet u push most of the time, ss is for for people with out the brain power to use gears

perhpas you should ride somewhere where there are hills?

couldn’t you have had the decency to of stopped and offered some help,maybe they borrowed the light weight gear, didnt have a clue how to use it,and in there “hour of need” some professional looking rad dude riding a bike with no gears? rode straight past mumbling under his breath about how they should have got out of his way,

calm down mr ” did you see that whip” youll have an accident.

Tell that to the grannyring mincers. Grannyrings have there place. For the old and past it.

Still waiting…

ok ur a **** that cant ride

ok ur a **** that cant ride

unless it’s uphill past gearie types that are walking 😆

Poor argument. Get off your high horse and help inexperienced riders

just wondering where your local trails are ssjeff, maybe we could have a ss and geared combo ride and all sort out our differences on the trails instead of from behind computer screens ?

Laughs out loud. I’m 55. Come to Yorkshire, if you dare.

Over taking freds with body armour on does not count, ive seen ss rigid people push down caste gate, wimps

Not all of us are young and buff, some of us have gears to go quick on the flat, but, but, very often I find useless singlespeeders blocking the way, blowing out of their arses, when not talking through it.
F*****g pathetic freaks.

Wow.

up n down ripped me a new one good and propper.

Your tearing is about as good as the grannyring incompetence on the trails.

ur wait is over 🙂

OK ssjeff so you are a trolling tosser with no sense of politeness or punctuation.

A bloke going slowly uphill could be in granny, middle or big ring. But how are they going to deal with the awesomeness that is you…? 🙄

It’s a big world out there. There is room for lots of people who ride in different ways. If you are so insecure and pathetic that this is the way you need to express your individuality, good luck mate.

Oh dear …

Boorish hair vest wearing flagellator with confidence issues IMO.

you dont do steep technical climes do you, bet ur single as well.

I drop down to the granny ring to save some energy fo’ sh*gging your momma later. Then I do your granny.

😈

don-simon give me shout when you want a blast over the clywds or berwyns and we can compare SS and gears whilst riding and then over a pint or two 😀

Jeff………..was it your favourite uncle or you dad?

Ok this thread is my entertainment for the night!

I love the granny ring, i try and turn the pedals at about 40rpm tops, especilly when know there is someone on a singlespeed behind, oh how i laugh.

Thats why i got into mountain biking 6 months ago, its the inclusive nature of the people who do it.

Jeff………..was it your favourite uncle or you dad?

PMSL!

Should have read “Jeff………..was it your favourite “uncle” or your dad?” though….

No probs, should I bring the geared bike or the soon to be singlespeed?
