    Nickc / miketually – Carn Ban Mor – now way would an SSer do that without a stupidly low gear and then they would have to freewheel the descent.

    I think thats part of the fun of it – you have to strain to reach the top (rather than sitting back and relaxing in the granny, as most do – me included) but on the way down you have to pick your lines perfectly to maintain speed. Mines a rigid SS so its re-teaching me a lot of the old skill I had forgotten, but thats just due to my sloppiness!

    There are a couple of local hills which I have never seen anyone make it up even with a granny gear let alone SS.

    So a singlespeed wouldn’t be a disadvantage on those hills?

    Any man with tandem in his user name is obviously insane anyway.

    That’s not niche – you mean a 69er SS bamboo frame tandem.

    I couldn’t ride my SS up all of the bridleway from Hortsop up onto High Street (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=343170&Y=512807&A=Y&Z=120), but neither could the guy I was with who had gears.
