If I was the sort of lunatic that wanted to do DH on a hardtail, I'd defo build it singlespeed. You so rarely need the other gears anyway, so why have the grief, noise and cost of gears.

Having said that, nice work Schneidi!

Rather him than me! I fell off my skills compensator 2 days before qualification and put myself out of action.

Not only SS, but belt drive!

Although, saying that, it's not impressive unless he's riding a rigid 36" wheel...

oh dear Simon... and you didn't have much riding planned before hand anyway! Should have competed in the weekender, then. Hope you're on the mend if it was bad enough to keep you from riding.

Yep, should have entered the Weekender! I broke my thumb with a silly off the first day in France - going for surgery on Tuesday ๐Ÿ™ Then I can get on with my recovery.

Singlespeed hardtail, paah they're for them modern mtbers. ๐Ÿ˜‰
