Due to the current vogue of niche ss bikes,ive been giving the transition some serious thought.Simplicity,weight saving,the purity of the ss experience etc etc are all positive things but and its a big but,as a one bike rider i cant help feeling that every ride would be compramised in some way(too high geared for climbs and spinning out on the decents).On the right bit of undulating single track they are properbly great but for my local rides and most of the places i’ve ridden, gears are the only way .I’ve read a few threads on this forum from ss riders who change gear rings depending on where they are riding,isnt it easier just to have a few gear out back.
So dont think i’ll be converting any time soon,your thoughts on the matter and has any one gone the other way(not gay,ss to 3×9)
Not trolling
