So, I currently have a Genesis io SS which rides a treat and a Giant Trance X2 which is great fun too.
However! I struggle to get out on the MTB these days, so the Trance doesn’t get much hammer.
After Kielder (did it on the Trance) and Mayhem (solo on the single speed), I found I like endurance racing and I fully intend to do more this year.
Having the 2 bikes doesn’t really make sense any more, so here are my thoughts: I love the simplicity of SS, but for multi day races I am thinking I may need gears.
Something like a Salas El Mariachi (because it can be geared or SSed) or a Scandal 29er (might be too racey) would suit me better for how I am riding these days.
Anyone else done anything similar? did you regret it?
