Wyatt Earp Posted November 18, 2014 Share Blixem dis mooi!,Thanks That's a beauty. That colouring from frame through to fork is just awesome. On a side note, Ardents front and back... Great choice. I find mine stick like glue! To be honest, I am not tyre fussy, I grab whatever I have long around, except for my Ritchey where I run the Surly Knard. It's soooo nice. [emoji108] Thank you squire .

Mats Posted November 18, 2014 Share I was wondering, what gearing do you guys use for singlespeed riding in real mountains?(and on which wheelsize is that?) It seems so hard. Coming from the flat country of The Netherlands single speed is nothing special. Even the XC tracks don't have more than 40m difference in height. So you can just speed up during the downhills so you'll make it easily up the uphills, even without gears. But what if the uphills are 10 minutes long? Do you walk or just have a very small gearing on your ss bike? I'm a average rider and I use a 32 x 18 here in Midrand but we do not have any mountains here.

Oh, I'm on a 29er.I ride Jonkers,Tokai, Tygerberg trails (dorsberg) and Table Mountain on mine. It's tough, but very rewarding, I love it!

I'd be so conflicted if I owned this. On the one hand, it's art and should be hung on a wall, on the other hand, it's a machine and needs to be used.
