Cois Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Rather sell another bike....The SS is locked to paths and roads. The MTB can go where I must. To jump the curb with a road bike might just end in disaster.Later on I will get a SS MTB. The roads and road users in SA is not for cycling anymore.

the nerd Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 confession time: I ordered gears.......Ten of them! I feel so ashamed. sies...
rock Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 thanks Hairy, the way I see it, the gears will simply get me back on my bike more, so its a "big picture" scenario, SS is great when you have the legs to match. so what ratio should I go for 11-23 right?

I went a 12-36t ..... but that was only because that is what was lying in my garage and I got tired of being burned by the other commuters. Now the majority of them are on SS roadie rigs ...... would not mind a SS roadie rig to commute with myself, then the HT can go back to SS again.
SimpleDom Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 confession time: I ordered gears.......Ten of them! I feel so ashamed. Same here. I rode with gears three times this week. My SS gear is just too tall for me at the moment. What I really should be doing though is changing the gear to something more manageable... Laziness is a terrible thing.

Sounds like you need to convert your SS to a cyclocross bike! Cois 1

RocknRolla Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 If you guys carry on with this kinda behaviour, I'm gonna have no choice but to start hitting the report button so we can get a mod in here to sort this nonsense out!!!
Flippa Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I have a confession.......... I converted my Krampus from SS to 1x9 I'm so ashamed..................
Guest notmyname Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Dying breed. I took my road SS for a burn yesterday after work. Still not quite done but getting there.
