divernick Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 What's a hipster and why wouldn't someone eat meat? Reasons for SS are personal.....everyone has their own. My bike looks cooler without shifters, derailleurs, cables and a long, flapping chain.....
divernick Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Get a SS , then you can change your hub name to Joe _cog , sounds much better then Joe_cogs , :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Hairy Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hey Joe ... in your younger years I am sure you had lots of fun on one of these .... is it clear now?
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Get a SS , then you can change your hub name to Joe _cog , sounds much better then Joe_cogs , Haha! Touche
Hairy Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I first rode a SS because my other bikes were sick and in need of repairs ..... bike was built out of real odds and ends, but what a blast
Wyatt Earp Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) 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? The newer generation single speed riders are so mythical that even the mystic one would be confused.But yeah in short, they are the Chuck Norri of the cycling world.Real tough okes let me tell you Edited June 6, 2012 by Dangle
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Ok ok... once I get off the old Silverback, I'll borrow one and see what the fuss is about. I am a noob... but at least I am not afraid to admit it

But I think they would make a sound.
divernick Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 We can SS your silverback in less time than it takes to wash the thing.....go on....
Joe_Cogs Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hey Joe ... in your younger years I am sure you had lots of fun on one of these .... is it clear now? I did indeed - I understand the enjoyment. But when I was younger I didn't go 20 / 40km on a single. But I get it... it's a challenge. It's the next newest high, like this "29er" business... Next there will be unicycle mountain biking

Actually I am not sure I get it either
divernick Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Yeah man, I was offering to HELP get rid of those pesky geary bits ....
