The after effects of a SS ride

[Hairy]

• Climbs can hurt, but it feels good afterwards
  
• Flats can be slow or quick if you pedal at a ridiculous cadence. This can hurt, but it feels good afterwards
  
• Always hungry after a ride
  
• I just had to go down another notch on my belt, but my pants legs are getting tigher
  
• Tough cleaning bugs out of teeth from smiling (or grimacing on tough climbs) before, during and after a ride

So true, jeans that used to fit simply don't fit anymore.

I can relate. Also, what started as a 'cheap' SS build for me has ended far beyond that ie new Hope wheels, Thomson stem/post combo, Fox fork. Wait....what am I thinking, it hasn't ended yet....need new brakes to replace the ancient Juicys on there at the moment. It will also need a CK headset....and maybe a CK BB....

I LOVE my ss, its just such an assuring ride, knowing I don't have to worry about deraileurs and gears hopping etc.And having only one gear means you have to pedal faste to get up hills,but it makes a stronger rider !

You forgot to mention sore knees.
