Forget singlespeed, singlewheel is the new niche

i test rode one for a magazine, fine until you realise that any conditions that require it's advantages are negated by the need to clean the linkages afterward.
the UJ on the top tube tore the hairs off my inside leg too.
it did climb well though.

He does save it for specific conditions! it looks pretty cool to see the drive shaft on the fork leg whipping round.

it needs a rigid fork and two different wheel sizes to be really niche and the rider needs a big beard and spd sandals ๐Ÿ˜€
