Any good? £180 off at Wiggle, currently missing the simplicity of SS in my life and very tempted.

Any opinions, good, bad or indifferent?

Cheers

Well I run my Duster singlespeed (with a mech as a tensioner) with some pre-production Charge rigids and its brilliant. No idea how it compares to other singlespeeds but there can't be much in it.

Take advantage of the tyre clearance and put some fat tyres on as soon as you can (2.35 ADvantages worked a treat!) With fat tyres and the right approach it tears around singletrack and levitates through corners 😀

I had a duster steel frame built with revs and usual mid level components.
It was quite numb to ride unless you ragged it. Only then did it feel like something interesting was going on.

It's a really good all rounder.

Good description there ^

'ragging it' was what I meant when I said 'the right approach' 8)
