SuperR Posted May 2, 2014 Share Hi guys. Proud to announce that I am new to the forum, and that I have committed myself to one crazy idea: I want to ride the Momentum 94.7 on a single speed bike. I decided this after I recently bought a SS project bike, weighing in at only a few kilo's. Rides like a dream, and even wheelies spontaneously. So I decided that the 94.7 is a challenge I set myself, and that I would like to do those tough km's for myself, and a charity. I need some advice on this topic though - if any of you guys have done it before, or know of people who will be riding fixed gear or single speeds in 2014 Momentum 94.7 - please share your thoughts. Any charities that need some extra support are also welcome to be presented here so that I can consider them! Thank you in advance, Gus Edited May 2, 2014 by SuperGus MaXiMuM, Blue Angel and FrequentFaller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMartin Posted May 2, 2014 Share There are the brave guys that do it with icecream tricycles. That has to be way harder. I don't see the problem. GreatGusto, arendoog, EmptyB and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted May 2, 2014 Share Singlespeed shouldn't be too hard, ride a 42-15 or 42-16 and it should be a walk in the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperR Posted May 2, 2014 Share Since you are doing it too, I guess I'm not the only one with these stupid ideas. It is for a good cause though. Will check out the ratio of my SS once I get back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton H Posted May 2, 2014 Share See loads of guys are doing it , even Sani and Joburg to sea .94.7 will be fine I think the Choc boys have it tough in the Cow suite and they often do a second lap Edited May 2, 2014 by Clinton H TK-Sp3cialiSt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beesrib Posted May 2, 2014 Share I am also toying with the idea of riding my SS this year. Not really a fan of tar roads, but the 94.7 is a good enough excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
