Raab Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Which local online shop stocks SS spares? Also looking for some
Flippa Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I've bought most of my SS stuff online from www.rapide.co.zawww.singlespeed.co.zawww.chainreactioncycles.comwww.velosolo.co.uk

divernick Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 When I contacted velosolo a while back they said they wouldn't send to SA cos stuff kept on going missing.....
LOOK695 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks. I presume your bikefit would be about the same on a SS compared to normal road bike?
Hairy Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks. I presume your bikefit would be about the same on a SS compared to normal road bike? The bike does not change, just the gearing
LOOK695 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 The bike does not change, just the gearingWhat gearing would be good for rolling to hilly terrain similar to 94.7 route?
Hairy Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 What gearing would be good for rolling to hilly terrain similar to 94.7 route? No idea ... what gears would you normally push? Start on one gear lighter than what you want to push and get into the swing of the SS thing and once you have gotten used to it fine tune your gearing.
Wyatt Earp Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 What gearing would be good for rolling to hilly terrain similar to 94.7 route?This question to answer is not an easy one.26 or 29 inch bike. How strong are your legs normally, how good is your climbing ability, how good is your spinning ability.Understanding all these and the cold hard facts behind them will lead you to the best gears for yourself. There is also a vast difference in riding a SS or racing one in any race, especially the ultra's. One tip I will give with confidence, always gear for the climbs.
Cav' Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 The only problem you might have is being seen riding a Trek :lol:

RossW Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Many people want to convert a 3 ring crank to a single. I want to convert my SRAM S1400 2x10 crank to single speed. Any ideas if this is possible and how?

Wyatt Earp Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Isnt your Ritchey an SS Dangle?? Yes, it's the only bike I ride and do all the races on it.
