So I am doing SITS solo in a few weeks time. Hopefully, the weather Gods will buck their ideas up and bless us with scorching gale force winds between now and then followed by mild and dry weather for the event. This will mean I will be able to ride the Cannondale Rush.
However, in preparation for a repeat of Mayhem, I have kitted out my rigid Orange P7 as a singlespeed. Currently I am riding 32:16 which is OK around Clent (just about), however, if the conditions are a bit crappy at SITS, what gear would be recommended? Would it be worth upping/downing it to 32:18? 32:20?
I seem to remember that it wasn’t too hilly apart from the start and a few short sharp bits.
I am new to this singlespeed lark so any guidance would be welcome.
