Iron Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Excuse my ignorance... but surely SS (I am assuming single speed) is a lot less practical and slower? What is the reasoning behind SS? I did the first trailseeker and loved it. Planning on doing my second one in July. noob,
NotSoBigBen Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Excuse my ignorance... but surely SS (I am assuming single speed) is a lot less practical and slower? What is the reasoning behind SS? I did the first trailseeker and loved it. Planning on doing my second one in July. Apparently no one really knows but .... the following are indicators that you are one of 'them' * ...you really don't care whether others get it or not, so you don't defend or explain it.* ...you show up to a race in a dress, and get mad because someone else has a nicer one on than you do.
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 As for slower speak to the 5+ guys on SS that finished the marathon in under 2:40, and Grant Usher/Nic White who came in 8th at the JoBerg2C. So in a nutshell, more of a challenge.... and slightly mad too. If an SS biker fell and no one was around to hear.... would they make a sound?

I did the first trailseeker and loved it. Planning on doing my second one in July. If you look for 'reason', you are at the wrong place. Despite, in spite, coz ... those are the answers! It one of life's big mysteries like: How does a bumble bee fly? Why does a rain bow? Does chuck Norris bleed? answers:Like a bumble beetrying to touch a SSchuck is male

NotSoBigBen Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 You can also use the excuse 'I have only 1 gear' for anything good or bad ....
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 So you guys are the hipsters... the old cameras and funky glasses. The ones who use instagram on a daily basis

NotSoBigBen Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 So you guys are the hipsters... the old cameras and funky glasses.

Hairy Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 So you guys are the hipsters... the old cameras and funky glasses. The ones who use instagram on a daily basis Nope, those are the Fixie crowds ... you know the tree hugging, bunny cuddling, tofu eating, vegan loving lot. We eat meat and drink beer.
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 What's instagram?Not really Joe_Cog, Instagram is for iPeoplehipsters - uuuhhhhmmmm no at my age you look like a plumber and your pant falls down ...old cameras - I guess my phone would be considered 'old' after a yearfunky glasses - that's patch's 'MOTOGP/SBK' podium style not mine WTF is instagram? But don't listen to me cause I'm a 'geared bike' fan Instagram is that annoying picture filter application that makes all your photos look old and outdated. Facebook bought it for a couple of billion dollars which means that even more people are going to transform crappy photo's into something that looks cool.
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Lets do a trade... you guys teach me about mountain biking and I shall teach you about stuff outside of it. Deal?
