Richard29 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Pro's: Stronger and faster legs, less maintenance / costCons: The lack of gears on a SS There's a simple test for those who currently own a mtb and are thinking of moving to a SS: The next training ride that will involve some technical riding, climbing and descending, choose one gear option on your geared mtb and stay in that gear for the whole ride. Count the number of times you have to stop yourself from selecting another gear. If you don't think about it (changing up / down) or change gears, great carry on moving towards SS'ing I agree from a maintenance point of view, sunday I went cruising through mud puddles like no ones business and no gear problems niks a little bit of squeaks , where as my geared bik I know for a fact by third mud puddle im having shifting problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted February 11, 2014 Share noob question, what would be the near perfect SS gear combination for the mountainous cape? Where do you ride, what bike do you ride and what is your fitness like .... are you a power rider or granny gear spinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLuke Posted February 11, 2014 Share I think I will stick to the gears for now, like to ride the rough stuff. 34-19 seems a bit tough on my weak knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
