Sabie Experience on a SS

[Vega]

Anybody planning on riding SabieX with a SS? Would be keen to hear what gear ratios you plan on using.

I did it 2 years ago

32:18 rigid 29er

only really struggled on the second day up a muddy climb. To steep to climb seated and when i stood up I lost traction. so walked for about 1km after that all good.

Running 34:18 on a 26. It is my first stage race with a single speed though . . .

you'll be fine. i found i actually good stronger the more days into it i went.

I'm only doing the Valencia races but will be on my SS. Probably running a 19 on the back with phatt tyres.

If you are strong 34x18 .if you have good cadence 32x18 .i have not ridden there ,but it should be similar to 3towers
